Well, I was extremely chuffed to appear in Allan Guthrie’s Thuggish Thirteen, a selection of ‘brit grit’ authors you should read, as part of Ashedit‘s ongoing British crime writing blog.
Some great writers in there, including some good friends, and I’m gonna have to get investigating the ones I haven’t read yet. Cheers for the shout out, Al!

My pleasure.
Hi Doug! Thanks for dropping by Ashedit. I’ve been introduced to a terrific crop of British writers thanks to the series of articles that explain the state of the Brit Grit nation to Yankees like myself. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
