Welcome to my website. My debut novel Twelve is now published in the UK by Bantam Press and so it may be that you’ve already read it and that’s what’s brought you to the site. If not, then I hope what you see here will inspire you to go and buy a copy. And if that’s not enough, then you can read a sample of fifty pages by clicking here.

With Twelve now in the shops, my attention has turned to the first of four sequels, entitled Thirteen Years Later. The story, as the name suggests, is picked up in 1825, with Aleksei now a colonel and his son, Dmitry, about to leave home. But even Dmitry cannot escape his father’s past. Publication is due in March 2010.

And the latest news is that I've just signed a contract for the third book in the series, so watch the space for details on that.

All best,
