Hello!

‍

On my mind

I'm happiest when I'm busy and always have a range of projects on the go. I'm polishing the first in my new series of police procedurals set in Teesside in the northeast of England, writing a new international thriller, world building for a space-opera and experimenting with hybrid publishing. As I'm between engineering jobs - I was looking forward to having more time to write. In practice I think I'm less productive with fewer time constraints. How about you?

‍

Why I'm excited to talk

Writing is a solitary activity, so it would be fantastic to connect with readers. Why would anyone be interested in talking to me? I have no idea; fascinated to give it a try.

‍

I love reading and always have several books on the go at any time.

‍

Looking forward to meeting you.

Where I've written

The Chemical Code

‍

Amid the heat of Brazil, explosives expert Jaq Silver has one goal – vengeance. When her enemies take what she treasures most, she will do anything to make them pay. But a series of betrayals leave Jaq unsure of those she can trust, and she realises she’ll need to complete the mission solo. And as everyone hunts down the same mysterious box, Jaq becomes increasingly embroiled in a web of far-reaching consequences. It seems there’s a hidden agenda, but can Jaq be sure she is chasing down the right target? And who is pursuing her?

‍

‘This book has it all. Phenomenal world-building. Totally original plot. Fascinating and insightful social commentary. Love. Sex. Punch-ups. There's nothing not to like. Jaq Silver is undoubtedly the best character I've met in years.’

—Emma Christie, author of The Silent Daughter

The Chemical Cocktail

‍

When Jaq’s mother dies, she is handed a poisoned chalice. Amid conspiracies and corruption, Jaq travels from Portugal to Brazil to get to the bottom of her family mystery. But she is not the only one with an interest in her unusual inheritance. Racing against the clock as threats to her life increase on all sides, Jaq must use her scientific know-how to save what matters most.

‍

‘Fast-paced, roller-coaster ride… The action-packed storyline, just the right side of bonkers, roams from Lisbon to England to the steamy depths of the Brazilian jungle as Erskine lets her imagination rip to great effect.’
