Here is a
list of websites that may be of interest.
Besides chronicling those that helped in the
creation of Caxton Tempest there are also links
to authors I am reading, and sites I am
visiting...

Visit me on

www.northlightphotography.co.uk
Visit Simon's
website for some beautiful photography of glass
artwork and more. Great photographer and all
round nice guy too.
www.victorianlondon.org
A fantastic site on Victorian London.
www.casebook.org/index.html
The Jack the Ripper website. If you're
slightly queasy but can
ignore the grisly details about the murders this
is also another fantastic site about the
Victorian era and London in particular, with
lots of links to other sites too.
www.barney-thomson.com
The home of Douglas Lindsay, author of the
Barney Thomson series. The first book is the
best, The Long Midnight of Barney Thomson, a
blackly comic tale of a Scottish barber caught
up in the grotesque and comically absurd world
of the serial killer.

Barry
Eisler is the author of the John Rain books.
Half American, half Japanese, Rain is an
assassin and an existential loner. If you like
action, gadgets, Bondian girls and villains,
lots of philosophising on the morals of killing,
late night jazz and whisky, then John Rain's
your man. Barry Eisler is also a thoroughly nice
guy, and writes an intelligent, absorbing blog.

Lee Child is British, and worked for Granada
television for many years, until being made
redundant. He then made the decision to move to
America and write American thrillers. The Jack
Reacher novels are action packed, with great
plots and a charismatic hero and, most unusually
in modern crime novels, nobody swears. Not even
the bad guys!
The Hardline
Hardline
Magazine is a monthly online publication created
by and for writers.
HL features both fiction and nonfiction writing;
short stories, reviews, and articles.
Steve Sweeney and Ken Preston have created HL
for the best of reasons - to promote
fresh, original writing, and provide writers
with an outlet for the kind of creative work
which may not find publication elsewhere.
