Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I tried to enlist the wisdom of Google to find out.
And it said...

I've had to put The Plague on hold while I finish the 2nd Dublin Murder Squad book. It's way too exciting to allow me to concentrate on anything else!

Nemo - just wait til 3 and 4! Broken Harbour was probably the best so far, will start Secret Place after speaking "the man who spoke Snakish" which is a wonderful weird fairytale, in the true sense of the word, dark, foreboding, frightening as well as magical.

Wondering whether Greg thinks my book was 30km from Cape Town; and if not my book, then what?
