WANTED: adventure lovers for hazardous journey. Must be prepared for nail-biting action, constant danger and fear around every corner, with safe return doubtful.

If that sounds like your kind of book, come with me…

The newest, The Alchemist’s Codex, sends her through the streets and catacombs of Paris in search of Fulcanelli’s legendary secret.
• International Detectives: Leo Keane and Allissa race aga

If you like a big, immersive read, start with The Ark Files, the first Eden Black adventure. Each book is a standalone treasure hunt, but they build on each other, so you can binge the series in order. Several of the later books, like The Lotus Key and The Sahara Event, are well over 450 pages. If you’d rather start with something brand new, The Alchemist’s Codex has just come out and takes Eden through the streets and catacombs of Paris.(less)

Most of my books start with a trip, so when a scene stalls I go back to my photos and notes from the place and picture Eden standing there. If that doesn’t work, I skip ahead and write a scene I’m excited about, then come back. Keeping the words moving matters more than getting them perfect first time.(less)

The Album That Followed Me Around the World

Hey from Nottingham!

Once again this week, I’ve been reminded of the power of experience. A couple of days ago, Mrs R and I took my parents to see one of my favourite bands at the Rescue Rooms, a small venue here in Nottingham. They’re called Stornoway, and they play folk music inspired (mostly) by nature.

“and once something was in the past, you could never get it back, however much you wanted it.”
― Luke Richardson, Kathmandu Killers

“More barrels rumbled and fell, tumbling over each other like a spilt bag of giant marbles. Eden stood back and watched the barrels tumble out into the yard, cracking and spilling their contents all over the SUV.”
― Luke Richardson, The Ark Files

“All Paavak could do was stare into the one small, pig-like eye of the man in front of him.”
― Luke Richardson, The Ark Files
