Amusing, fascinating and erudite in a lighthearted way, rather like the work of Dr Karl…with a lot of wisdom and humour.

About me
For years I was a soil scientist, which mostly meant digging holes, asking too many questions, and becoming unreasonably attached to what lies beneath the surface. My first book, Grounded (Text Publishing), was the result: a true, absurd, slightly morbid tour of everything soil touches, from solving murders to ruining wine snobbery to how to be eco-friendly once you’re dead.
These days I write fiction. There’s always a mystery.
When I’m not writing, I’m at the beach with my daughter, fighting the weeds in the garden (they always win), or making mystery walks.
