Rehearsal, lock-out and other stuff!

Just finished rehearsal at The Studio Theatre Company, Belfast, of 'The Real Man', the gritty modern play on at the MAC Belfast 23rd-25th May 2013.  

It was our last Monday rehearsal until April, as we turn our attention full-time to Oscar Wilde's 'Lady Windermere's Fan' leading up to its  run at the MAC on April 4th, 5th and 6th.

Tickets for both plays will be on sale through www.themaclive.com from next week. 

It has just taken me an hour to unlock my google account and be able to access this blog again....google has more security than Fort Knox!

Given that I'm spectacularly un-techy, it's a  miracle that I managed to do it at all!

Now...back to the book edits...

Busy time!

It seems ages since I wrote a blog ( January!) and so much has been happening since then.

BOOKWISE I've been editing book three in the DCI Craig series 'The Visitor' out on the 29th March. We're just starting cover design this week so it's all go there.

Book four in the series is in the final stages of writing so that will be wending its merry way to the wonderful Crooked Cat Publishing this week, hopefully for publication in the summer.

Meanwhile I've turned towards New York to start writing a completely new book in the thriller not police genre tentatively titled 'The Carbon Trail', so hopefully that will be complete later this year.

Meanwhile THEATRE....back at The Studio Theatre Company in Belfast, we've been fortunate enough to secure a chance to perform at the wonderful MAC theatre in Belfast city centre with two plays.

Lady Windermere's Fan April 4th, 5th and 6th evenings and

The Real Man, the premier of a new work  on May 23rd, 24th, 25th  evenings 

We'll also be giving some free performances for charity  and communities over the periods around the MAC performances.

Phew...busy, busy
