A Death In Didsbury

A Death In Didsbury is available from Amazon, Smashwords, and other online stores.

When a woman is shot dead on a quiet street of trendy shops, Detective Sergeant Kay Wood is reunited with an old acquaintance, and has to work with retired intelligence analyst Irwin Baker to help them out.

Unexpected violence flares on the streets of the Manchester suburb of Didsbury, and the investigation is soon tangled up in links to Russia and crimes dating back to the Second World War. As the intelligence services are drawn into the mystery, two witnesses find their lives turned up side down, and threatened, by their connection to the victim.

A house with a grisly history.

The killer who calls it home.

Eight teens planning a party.

But who’s hunting who?

Warden’s Lodge has a blood soaked history dating back to before the Civil War.

After a violent massacre it has stood empty for over twenty years. The locals keep their doors locked and are never far from a gun, fearing what they think lives in the lodge.

When eight teenagers turn up, determined to have a party in the lodge despite the warnings, blood can’t be far away.

In one long, violent night the lodge is going to claim more lives.


Uninvited Guests, page 10

A few days late, but here it is.

It’s likely that this week’s page will end up just as late, and I may have to slip to a two weeks out of three schedule for a little while. I shall try to avoid that, though.

This page, I’ve tried out a new way of shading eyes, with the pupil still a black spot, but the iris shaded. (To the character’s hair shade. I don’t know why, it just seemed appropriate.)

Shading is still taking longer than I’d like, and I’m not sure of the ‘2DLT’ (as Manga Studio calls it) image imports. I’m off to find a tutorial that explains them, so I can learn the best ways to tweak them.
