Good day everyone, and thank you for the welcomes.

I have been writing stage plays for 20+ years and currently have 37 published and performed throughout the world. My website www.scripts4theatre.com has details, photos, etc. if anyone's interested.

I have written something like 18 short novels that are best described as "adult" - not my first choice but it helps to pay bills! These have been published as paper and ebooks under four noms-de-plume.

My most important project (to me at least) is a full length crime thriller (150,000 words or so) I've called "Time to Kill", which is a well-researched, but fictional, book about a couple of serial killers. It was accepted as a launch title by a company called Arcturus a while ago, for their new crime imprint but, ultimately, they decided not to go ahead with the imprint (it being quite different from their core business of children's books, cookbooks, puzzle book and so on). At least it gave me the confidence that it's good enough, and I have 2 sequels in the framework stage. I'm just wading through the world looking for an agent and/or publisher now! Any advice much appreciated.
