I Think That Brighton, For A Crime

Every Novel Starts With A Theme, And I Am Constantly Looking For Big Ideas.

I Like Dogs. Dogs Don't Judge People.

Stalin Was Experimenting With Telepathy In The 1930's. Winston Churchill Had A Paranormal Office, Trying To Get People To Travel Out Of Their Bodies And See Behind Enemy Lines In The Second World War. And The Pentagon... The X-files Is Based On A Real Department In The Pentagon, That's Still There Now. Pretty Much Every Government, Probably As Far Back In Time As We Can Go, Has One. And The Police Will Quite Often - And When I Say Often, I Mean Often - They Will Go To Mediums If All Else Fails In The Enquiry.

The Biggest Qualification To Be A Good Police Officer Is To Have A High Degree Of Emotional Intelligence.

I Think That Brighton, For A Crime Writer, Is Almost Like A Character.
