Well I’ve done it again: I’ve published a book…
A killer returns:
Jacobs’s day took a sharp turn south when just before he was about
to finish work a body turns up. Mere hours later he is horrified to find out
that a murder case that was never solved has just come back to haunt him. With
his relationship with his boyfriend under strain and a homicidal lunatic
killing people left, right and centre all he can do is hope he and his partner
Sally can catch him before many more people die. Set on Teesside, this fast
paced novelette is exciting and has several fascinating plot twists leading to
an exciting conclusion.

Jack the Ripper event in Middlesbrough
I
went to a Jack the Ripper event at Middlesbrough central library last night and
I was very impressed. I wasn’t expecting quite so much forensic science because
it was part of the literary festival but I’m certainly not complaining. I got a
fair bit out of it for the novel I’m writing; especially about the Whitechapel
area in London at the time. I have to be honest here: I wasn’t expecting the
evidence against the guy from Hartlepool to be quite so solid as a new
potential candidate to the JtR but it really was.
I
have loads of stuff to be considering for good material for my novel, and I may
even change who I’m scripting as victims based on some of the evidence that was
presented – I found out some things which made the situation in Whitechapel
seem even worse than it did before, and yes that is some feat considering it
was Jack the Rippers stomping ground. With over 1 murder per day in an area of
30,000 throughout the 1880’s I should have a great time describing how a Jack
the Ripper copycat managed to pass of his own victims as Jack’s.

My Novel
OK then: just got
given a few new books for my birthday which will help with the next one (the
supernatural horror, I know it’s hard to keep up but I tend to have a lot of
projects on-the-go at once; it makes life interesting) The novel I’m writing is
a post-Jack the Ripper story, focusing on the murders which followed Jack the
Ripper in London. JtR has been done to death (no pun intended) so I decided to
focus on some of the later Whitechapel murders.
On a funny note I
had a chat in the staff canteen of the hospital I volunteer at when I went in
for a job interview a few weeks ago with one of my colleagues about my novel.
The JtR murders had a certain level of surgical skill and the ones that
followed were plain savage, yet at the time some people considered them to be “Ripping’s”
at the time – I made the remark that if this was accurate then ‘Jack the Ripper
killed some people: and then he went mental’: totally forgetting that in
conversation context matters and I was talking about what was done to the body
rather than his state of mind. Oops.
