If my books feel packed with mystery and mayhem, it's because my life is too. As a husband, dad, writer, gardener, botanist, and serial DIY enthusiast, I've collected unusual experiences ranging from keeping ant farms, to building garden ponds that attracted everything except the wildlife he wanted. I've raised chickens and frogs, climbed trees, and had conker fights many of which I won. My writing encompasses all these experiences wrapped up as clean spooky thrillers, supernatural mysteries, dark fantasies, and cozy animal adventures. I live near the New Forest with my family, and two cats, one of whom disappears for months at a time and returns looking suspiciously pleased with himself. I might write a story about him one day... P.S. that's me in the pic writing by candlelight, (or a very close likeness of me).

Enter Vincent and his gang of wannabe sleuths who are desperate to solve the crime before the cops can, and so bag themselves some much needed fame. But after witnessing one attack, the kids realise that they have become the scapegoats and the police are now hunting them.
