THESE DARK PLACES

My dog Luna on an autumn day in the local woods

I walk into Highgate Wood and Queens Wood almost every day with our dog and it seemed natural to use a woodland setting for a novel. It will be different writing about a landscape rather than a seascape but I've been making notes for a year or so now and think it can make a very evocative setting.

Me, learning how to throw a pot

My protagonist in THESE DARK PLACES is a potter so naturally I had to give it a go! Throwing a pot is much harder than you think!

My local woods in the snow. Beautiful.

The landscape is completely transformed by the seasons
