My next novel is The Bezzle, a high-tech ice-cold revenge thriller starring Marty Hench, a two-fisted forensic accountant, as he takes on the sleaziest scams of the first two decades of the 2000s, from hamburger-themed Ponzis to the unbelievably sleazy and evil prison-tech industry:

I'm taking Marty on the road! I'll be visiting eighteen cities between now and June, and I hope you'll come out and say hello, visit a beloved local bookseller, and maybe get a book (or two)!

Do you remember Diego the ship's cat of the HMS Unicorn? Unfortunately it was announced on 9 February that he died suddenly. He was often referred to as 'The Captain' as he liked to sit in the Captain's Cabin behind the desk, as you can see there. RIP Diego
