I'm a newly-fledged author with the independent UK publisher Crème de la Crime. My humorous murder mystery novel, DEAD WOMAN'S SHOES, was selected for publication after reaching the final shortlist in Crème de la Crime's New Author Search 2007 competition (which was kind of exciting), and was published on 3 April 2008. 

DEAD WOMAN'S SHOES is features rebellious sleuth Lexy Lomax, who can only be described as an 'accidental' detective. 

What's it about?

Lexy Lomax has run away from her obnoxious husband, taking with her a cool half million of his ill-gotten gains and her ex mother-in-law's homicidal chihuahua.  

Holed up in a decrepit log cabin on the Suffolk coast, Lexy finds herself  mistaken for the previous owner of the cabin, a private investigator, now deceased.

Before she knows it she’s embroiled in a cocktail of marital infidelity, missing cats, and poison pen letters. In fact, it seems that every other person in the nearby prissy village of Clopwolde-on-Sea could use a private eye.

But a local policeman with a shadowy past has developed an inconvenient interest in Lexy, and when she finds the wife of one of her clients unexpectedly dead in a remote field, matters take an awkward turn...

DEAD WOMAN'S SHOES is published by Crème de la Crime, PO Box 523, Chesterfield, Derby DE73 1DS
