I’m delighted to announce the publication of ‘Noir from the Bar’, an anthology of crime & mystery stories compiled by Virtual Noir From the Bar (the online offshoot of Newcastle’s Noir at the Bar) to raise funds for the NHS charity appeal. One of my stories is in there, but there are 29 more to get your teeth into too. Only £2.99 on ebook, £10 hard copy. Go on, buy a couple and give them away as presents. It’s for a good cause.
