Currently
Developing a new book project I can’t talk about just yet as well as teaching on the Comparative American Studies programme at the University of Liverpool until February 2011. Responsible for organising continuing education courses in English language and literature at the University of Liverpool. Having handed over editorial responsibility for 100 American Crime Writers and 100 British Crime Writers, I’m going to be writing quite a few entries for each book and contributing to The Venetian Vase as it develops.
