HOT WIRE NOW AVAILABLE
My second novel, HOT WIRE, is now available in Kindle format from Amazon and Blasted Heath.
"Hot Wire is a hip, funny, serious and suspenseful novel that brings the great tradition of grifter noir into the present day with the excitement and urgency of the activity its title refers to. Emma Martin is the coolest protagonist crime fiction has produced in a long time."
– Barry Graham, author of When It All Comes Down To Dust
