Autorenporträt
My crime series is based around a bookshop owner inspired by own time as a manager of a bookshop. The first two, The Shakespeare Thief and Roman Holiday, are now available and I am busy writing the third. Central to the story are the characters of Elliot the bookshop owner, his main employee, Esther, the subject of his unrequited love, the eccentric but loyal Aggie, his interfering mother Elizabeth, his history lover friend Cameron. They are written, I hope, with warmth and humour and contain many a literary allusion.
