I've been writing all my life, first in journalism and then in corporate communications.

Death on a Dig is my first fiction. It's a mystery story set around the disappearance of a young woman from an archaeological dig in Mexico. Gwen Madden goes looking for her on behalf of the girl's distraught mother -- and discovers a kidnapping, a tale about a trove of stolen artifacts and -- oh, yes -- a dead body, in fact, more than one.

I've travelled in the UK, continental Europe, India, Mexico and Central America. Before apartheid was defeated in South Africa, I spent five years in Mozambique as an international volunteer, and I recently volunteered again for six months to work with a small social agency in northern India.

I’m still looking over my photos and thinking about some of my experiences in Cuba. Cuba is everything people say it is. The architecture is phenomenal, Havana bustles, the classic cars are a real treat both to drive in and to watch on the road. I walked the Malecon, Havana’s sea wall, a number of […] Read more of this blog post »

Topics Mentioning This Author

Lawrence Block
“I settled for a cup of coffee. Only it wasn't coffee. It was a coffee substitute made by grinding up dandelion roots. The idea was that it wouldn't keep you awake, and it's always seemed to me that the only thing coffee really has going for it is that it will keep you awake.”
Lawrence Block, The Topless Tulip Caper

Lawrence Block
“I don't know about the rest of the country but in New York more people have learned anonymity from rent control than ever discovered it in a twelve-step program.”
Lawrence Block

Raymond Chandler
“In writing a novel, when in doubt, have two guys come through the door with guns.”
Raymond Chandler

Raymond Chandler
“Everything a writer learns about the art or craft of fiction takes just a little away from his need or desire to write at all. In the end he knows all of the tricks and has nothing to say.”
Raymond Chandler

Raymond Chandler
“Chess is as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you can find outside an advertising agency.”
Raymond Chandler
