MURDER YOU WROTE
Murder You Wrote: An Interactive Mystery is a choose-your-own-investigation murder mystery set in remote Tasmania, a world of stunning beauty, dark history and deadly creatures.
Twenty writers were chosen to contribute to this book. Each of us wrote a chapter, making the reader the detective and giving them the choice of which chapter to read first and which clues to follow.
Murder You Wrote was launched in Tasmania in 2023, by Ann Cleeves (Vera, Shetland). Here’s a photo of me at the launch, fangirling with Ann Cleeves.
THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD
What if Sherlock Holmes were Polish? What if he or John Watson were Indian or Irish or Australian or Japanese? How would their worlds look if one or both was from a completely different background?
In The Only One in the World, Clan Destine Press Commissioned me, and thirteen other writers, to answer these questions.
The results are adventures in Ancient Egypt, Viking Iceland, and 17th century England; in 19th century Ireland, Germany, and Poland; in South Africa of the 1970s and New Orleans of the 1920s; and in contemporary Australia, USA, Russia, India and Portugal.
