About me:

I am a UK crime novelist and film maker. I have written 18 novels and produced/executively produced 26 films. My next novel, the third in my Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series, Not Dead Enough, will be published in the UK on June 1st.

My previous novel Looking Good Dead spent 7 weeks in the UK Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller list, reaching No 2 (twice!), and No 1 for three weeks in Tesco and all the other major UK supermarket chains and was shortlisted for Crime Thriller of the year in the 2007 Galaxy British Book Awards.

My first Roy Grace novel, Dead Simple won the 2006 German Krimi Blitz award as Best Crime Novel, the 2006 Prix Polar International French Crime Novel award and the 2007 Le Prix Coeur Noir French crime writing prize and was a Top 10 bestseller in the UK, Germany, France and Holland.

Who I'd like to meet:
People interested in reading thrillers, particularly crime novels with a forensic edge.

The Smoking Poet	Sep 10 2007 1:49 AM THE SMOKING POET: FALL 2007 – ONLINE NOW! Life is growth. To stop growing is to stop living. The same principle applies to a literary ezine. It, too, is a living being, breathing new life with each and every submission that is chosen to appear in these pages. And surely this issue – our fourth – is breathing deeply! The voices here are many and diverse. Each one has given a breath of life to these pages, and we invite you to witness that life, allow it to move you, make you think and feel and perhaps do a bit of growing, too. Author Interview with Paul Levinson Feature Poet: Aberjhani Poetry, Fiction, Non-Fiction, Book Reviews, Cigar Reviews, and more at THE SMOKING POET. .
GUD Magazine	May 22 2007 8:14 AM Just wanted to let you (and your comment-reading friends) know that GUD Issue 1 is now available for purchase! Issue 1 comes to life with Darby Larson's "Electroencephalography" where an experiment in robot-building goes terribly awry. And if you've ever woken up with an unexpected physical deformity—say, an arrow in your heart—you'll truly enjoy the next story. There's also a smattering of flash fiction and psychedelia; a straight-out story where things aren't what they seem, poetry that takes you from the perverse to the sublime, some magic realism, science fiction, and a few letters to another species thrown in for good measure. We haven't forgotten those of you with a literary bent. In addition, the artwork in this issue is particularly strong, with oil paintings, watercolors, photography, and photo illustrations complementing the words with which they are paired. Thanks for being a friend!
