Our firstborn was a satirical thriller that, as Black Light, went into The Independent's top five best boys' adventures for 2008. This was followed by Farewell, My Lovely, a collection of tributes to much-loved departed pets - which came about when we lost an adored and treasured animal.
Then came Green Fire - a sequel to Black Light and the second in the series The Chronicles of Dekaydence - that reminds the great literary critic John Carey of Mervyn Peake.
Farewell, My Lovely came out in hardback, adding to the original text a great number of stories from around the world. We were thrilled when HRH The Duchess of Cornwall agreed to the write the foreword.
The next book, Catch 36 - a beautiful hardback, with and without the jacket - is an eclectic collection of poetry, which has gone into 200 branches of Waterstones.
