I’m not the best reader of my own work, but here’s a couple of samples from A Dark Redemption:

And here’s an excerpt from the book: CH1 and CH3

As a massive fan of spoken word, I’m delighted that A Dark Redemption is now available as an audiobook.

I’m going to be doing an event at the ultra-cool Rough Trade record shop on March 15th. The great Jake Kerridge will be interviewing me and I’ll be doing a short reading. Entrance is free. Please come along if you fancy some rock and roll crime fiction…

A lovely review by Laura Wilson in today’s Guardian

A short piece I wrote about the challenges of writing a series here

This great review from Sarah at Crimepieces here

and some more on Michael J Malone’s great May Contain Nuts blog here

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!

From Jessica Mann in this month’s issue of Literary Review:

“This intriguing and well-written thriller brings the horrors of Uganda and its vicious lawlessness to London…Highly original…Sherez ventures into a part of London that crime fiction readers probably never see…an underworld in which migrants live in parallel with their hosts. A salutary read, highly recommended.”

Wow! I guess it can only go downhill from here: Massive thanks to the guys at crimesquad for making me their author of the month: review and interview.
