Here's what the legendary mystery writer, Peter Lovesey, says about CONFESSIONS of a DISCONTENTED DEITY:

"Confessions is a joy and I’m sure it will entertain and amuse everyone lucky enough to read it, bishops, priests and born-again Christians included. Rabbis, too. There’s such good sense and wisdom at the heart of this wonderful romp through heaven and earth. The idea is inspired and the energy and ingenuity of each chapter explore the nature of, well, almost everything that matters. The brilliance is that while we are treated to such fun with a God learning to be streetwise, the story is rooted in good theology. I hope He will return."

Available electronically from Amazon: CONFESSIONS of a DISCONTENTED DEITY. It's different from my other work, but you'll recognize the style if you're used to it. $2.99 and equivalent in other countries. To read a sample click at the top of the column on the right.

Ever wondered what God is like? Well think about it: He made man in His own image, right? So if you look at men and work backwards you'll get the idea. Which explains a lot.

CONFESSIONS is narrated by God and describes a period of His life when He finds Himself changing. That not only surprises Him, it confuses Him and he gets slapped a lot.

But God is nothing if not a problem-solver. In this book He describes how He went about trying to understand Himself and work out what he should do about modern man. And modern woman.

Here's my first story offering as an electronic publication, at just under $1 - available from Amazon, Smashwords and all the major electronic platforms.

I really like the cover. It was done for me by Sam Camden-Smith.

FAMILY TRIO contains three stories about the family of private detectives who have featured in the novels FAMILY BUSINESS and FAMILY PLANNING. (The third novel in the series, FAMILY WAY, is out in the US this December.)

In "The Jane Case" the Old Man starts working out at the gym but when he watches a young man who runs oddly on a treadmill he finds a client. David's initiative helps solve the case and Marie sets up in a new enterprise.

In "And Maybe More" Salvatore has dinner with a woman who advertized on a dating site - strictly business, of course. Meanwhile Gina and Mama unravel the source of Marie's sudden wealth.

In "Gun Point" Angelo is held up on his way home from a drawing class and Rosetta meets a policeman who's only just moved to Bath.

These stories have been published before in mystery magazines but I've rewritten them all significantly for this, my first venture into electronic publishing. It's available for all major electronic platforms and for direct download to computers. Give it a try and let me know what you think?

Latest-to-first: the eighth Albert Samson novel is available on Kindle and in paperback.

Meanwhile there's a relatively new paperback edition of ASK THE RIGHT QUESTION, available from backinprint.com and all good online bookshops. ASK was the first ever Albert Samson novel and it's been forty+ years now since it was first published.

Check the picture - it's one I took on one of my research trips to Indianapolis.

Can you spot a line or two that survived intact in the published edition?

A special greeting to my Japanese readers:

I'm proud of the beautiful falcon that I was so fortunate to receive when I won the Maltese Falcon Society's award for Best Foreign Novel in 1987. It's here in my living room - along with another prized possession, my 1992 "Marlowe" from the Raymond Chandler Society in Germany. And some tulips from my patio garden.
