Writing a new series can be a daunting experience, as you wait to see how your new character will be received. DS Ruby Preston sometimes bends the rules, but she has a good heart, and I hope you have enjoyed meeting her for the first time.
I’m really enjoying setting this series in London. I’m currently plotting books two and three and am very excited about what the future holds for Ruby and the people around her. Having worked in the police for many years, I do hope I’ve been able to portray a good account of the type of interesting and varied characters I used to meet. I have had to stretch reality slightly when it comes to the role of a Detective Sergeant, as we all know there are just some days that paperwork prevails – I do hope my ex-colleagues forgive me for the freedom Ruby is sometimes allowed.

You may also be interested in my previous crime thriller series, featuring DC Jennifer Knight, which is available now. Like Ruby, Jennifer investigates crime, but her stories come with a spooky twist.
