Well, here I am trying to consolidate the Dr Power series…three novels in and I’m aligning them for consistency and preparing the definitive texts in preparation for the next phase of the series. Meanwhile, I am pleased by reviews for all three books and growing sales as people join the Dr Power/Superintendent Lynch world.

The three, illustrated, single books will be joined by a compendium of all three texts (without illustrations) later in the year. (The Dr Power Mysteries).

To keep the creative urge satisfied I am also working on a series of short stories . Observant readers have noticed that the first three novels are in chronological order, but have spaces of 2-3 years between them. This is true. And they also ask what happened in the spaces between…well the short stories will give some glimpses into questions like: “What happened to Eve?” Don’t expect the answers soon though, because I have only two full stories written – the first and the last of around a dozen short stories. The first of the twelve is ‘Christmas 1992’ and the last is ‘Christmas 1997’. They will be collected together into a ‘Casebook’.

For those that want clues as to what will happen in book 4…can I point you to Paul Imrie’s illustrations? The illustrations have (as some readers have spotted) clues as to what happens in future books….

I am collecting my thoughts and hopes together for the plot of book 4 (Schrodingers God) and book 5 right now. Dr Power and Superintendent Lynch can expect some big surprises…
