I have two works-in-progress. This is quite normal for me and I flit from one to the other as and when to muse takes me.
SIX is my newest work. It is the second book in the Detective Ewan Striker series. The first book, UNREST was published in July and has received excellent reviews. I love Striker's character and find him easy to write.
THE FIRE is the sequel to THE FIX and will conclude the adventures of Rick Fuller, Des Cogan and Lauren North.
I have had so many requests to write this sequel, but I struggle with it and the pace has been painfully slow. I'm 40,000 words in now and hope to finish it by the new year.

The best advice I can give is to read as much of the genre that you write in. Try to work out how your favourite authors have kept your interest, made you laugh, made you cry, made your heart race.
Also, you must write, even if you think your work is poor, don't give up, keep going.
Ask someone you trust, to read your work and give you encouragement. You can always look to your local college. Most will run adult creative writing courses in the evenings. These are great for meeting like-minded souls and refining your craft.
Good luck.
