In the Silence release day extravaganza

It’s finally here! In the Silence, my debut novel, goes on general sale today in both paperback and eBook formats. This is a story that originally began a decade ago, with a feature film screenplay with a working title of Giallo in Winter, which I dashed out over an intense two-week period, writing straight ahead with only the vaguest feeling of my ultimate destination. Along the way, the concept has metamorphisised into something very different, but the core of that script — a murder-mystery thriller set in Glasgow at Christmastime, featuring a series of violent murders sparked off by a decade-old unspeakable trauma — has remained intact.

It’s difficult to adequately convey with words just what a momentous occasion this is for me. I often have to remind myself that I’m not imagining things, that this really is happening. I can’t thank the people at Bloodhound Books enough for taking a chance on me, or my editor, Ben Adam, whose guidance was instrumental in finessing the final draft. Thanks also to everyone involved in the blog tour, and everyone who’s read the book and published a review.
