In the style of Raymond Chandler, this is hard-boiled detective fiction set in the city of Nub; where cats are king, killer and killed. Tiger Straight, PI, is past his prime, homeless and unemployed until the dame Connie Hant shows up. The PI is back, pawing the mean streets of Nub that he knows so well. Straight has a new mission - to catch the killers of the broad's brothers. It leads him to the murky, tatty underbelly of Nub, throwing up more kitty deaths and a love for a certain make-up artiste. What are the links between these murders and will Straight and his bug loving side-kick Natasha survive to discover the answers before the edible Inspector Bix Mortis?
I'm a bestselling author with three novels under my belt, and another one on the way. I've been writing since I was old enough to hold a pen. I develop stories and characters every day, usually working on multiple projects at once - right now I'm working on a fantasy novel, an anthology book and a screenplay.
When I'm not writing I teach, act, write plays and direct independent feature films. I don't like to be stuck in an office on my own for too long, so I often take a notepad out and about and work in the Great Outdoors.
I've had a lot of disappointments in my career: rejections, miscommunications, producers and publishers flaking out on me. But I keep going. My stories have been called many things - mysteries, adventure stories, social satire - but they have one common element, an emotional connection with readers worldwide. I don't just write for myself. I always have my readers in mind.
