My collection 'The Dulwich Horror and Others' should be out as a hardback in August, I'm chasing the publishers over the paperback and e-book editions -- those are non-Stubbs but some of them have the same setting you may recognise a character or two. I'm working on another collection at present, afterwards -- if other people like him too -- I will aim for another Stubbs by early 2016.(less)
David Hambling Andy -- it is! The e-book is just up on Amazon, the paperback is in process.

The Case Book of Harry Stubbs by David Hambling
"Another stellar bow by David Hambling with this addition to the Harry Stubbs series. All of these were previously part of other collections themed around Al-Azif, Yig, Yog-Sothoth, and the final tale from a collection called Eldritch Prisoners that c" Read more of this review »

Damascus Station by David McCloskey

It is easy to laugh at this kind of adolescent sub-Bond spy fantasy. Can the unarmed hero take on any number of armed assailants? Will he successfully seduce the sexy enemy agent? Can he stroll through a casino and win thousands? Need you even ask?

Not as greatest, but a good read. A novel take on the baddies. Some horribly cliché plot twists in there, but if it works, it works, and if anyone can make it work, Stephen King can. And some nice Covid touches

Quotes by David Hambling  (?)

“There is a story about a traveller chased by a tiger to the edge of an abyss. The man took hold of a vine and started to climb down when he saw an angry dragon at the bottom of the abyss, and when he looked up, the tiger was lashing its tail above. As he hung on, a mouse started to gnaw away at the vine he was clinging to. The man was ready for death when he noticed a wild strawberry growing next to him, so he plucked it. It was the sweetest he had ever tasted.”
David Hambling, Broken Meats

“The guilty flee where none pursues, or so they say.”
David Hambling, The Elder Ice

“...magic is madness. That's almost the definition of it. The ordinary mind, the sane mind, revolts at the thought of doing the impossible...”
David Hambling, Master of Chaos
