A ten-book milestone

‘My tenth published title sees the return of my Aylesbury based detectives Lizzie Archer and Dan Baines are back in a new thriller,’ writes subscriber Dave Sivers.

‘It’s my ninth novel, tenth published title, and the sixth outing for Archer and Baines. It feels like a real milestone, having been writing all my life, including columns and articles in local newspapers and regional magazines, as well as short stories in Take a Break magazine and other publications.

‘I grew up in West London and now live in Buckinghamshire, where I am co-founder of the BeaconLit festival of books and writing. My writing has also given me the opportunity to appear at other book festivals and events, and to give talks to WIs and other groups. Like many writers, I’ve been missing the interaction with readers and with other authors, and I can’t wait for live events to be possible again.

‘In Die in the Dark, a vicious homophobic attack in Aylesbury sees the start of a new investigation. As Archer and Baines search for answers, another woman is found left for dead, her partner missing – and this time the victims are closer to home for the team. Amid a desperate race to find the missing woman, Baines finds himself once again confronted by the demons he hoped he was putting behind him. It’s a distraction that could cost him his sanity – and a friend her life.

‘Die in the Dark is out in paperback and Kindle ebook.
