We started writing our first novel, “Critique of Criminal Reason,” at the turn of the twenty-first century. We hadn’t been published at the time, and so were able to take our time and indulge our fantasies. The book eventually appeared for the first time in 2006 as a Faber & Faber hardback.

We are planning to go to London for a few days at the start of March. The paperback edition of "A Visible Darkness" is about to be released. The real reason for going, however, is the huge antiques fair at Ardingley on March 1st and 2nd – if you’ve never been to this bonanza, you don’t know what you are missing. London is just 40 minutes away by train, so we will stay in town. That’s where all the bookshops are, the theatres, museums and restaurants.
