Hi Ms. Ellis - this is a small question, but one that has me thrown a little as I thought I had the answer, but I then heard a different answer. In the first Jackman and Ellis book it was said that Jackman attended Cambridge and then I believe in the second one I believe they said he attended Oxford. Did I miss something with this? Thank you so much!!
Joy Ellis
Hi again, Ann! Well this is odd, because Jackman was definitely Cambridge... I've checked the manuscripts for all the Jackman books and can find no mention of Oxford, except in the second book, and that is referring to another character, a girl called Danni. The only other mention of Oxford was not even about the uni, but referring to a shirt! In The Guilty Ones he does talk to his mother about his father's wish for him to do better, and they mention university, but not by name. Unless something strange happened in editing and his higher education was subtlety altered for some reason, (ha-ha!) it's a mystery! If I've missed something I apologise, but I've scoured the books and cannot come up with an answer. You take care, x

Hello, I've just finished re-reading all 11 Nikki Galena books. I have them as audiobooks. I saw that nr. 12 was published just few days ago. Will it be also in audiobook format? I've also read all Jackman and Evan books. Love your books. Hope you continue writing many new books with our beloved characters, or maybe with some new ones. Sorry for my English. I'm not native speaker.

I just recently discovered your DI Jackman/DS Evans series and I am hooked. Out of all the characters, DS Evans intrigues me the most. She seems to embody an ideal in the novels. I don't mean she is not a believable character, but more like she is the conduit for much of the message in your stories. Did you create her by mixing more than one person/-nality into one or is she a pure product of your imagination?
