Charles E. Mellor

Nothing too special to say here. I am the father of five wonderful children who keep me even busier than you would imagine. My wife and I run a bilingual preschool (well, she runs it and I fix all the things that get broken) and have a lot of fun doing it.

I have wanted to be a writer my entire life; unfortunately, I had never really passed through the want stage and into the doing stage.

Until now.

My first book, The Mumfest Murders, was published in June of 2018. Book 2 in the series, The Marathon Murders, was published in October of the same year. The third book, The Port City Murders, was finally published in March of 2025 after a slight delay.

But the delays are gone now. I have several more books in the pipeline and plan to publish severa

Stuart Pawson

Stuart Pawson lived in Fairburn, Yorkshire, with his wife, Doreen.

After a career as a mining electrical engineer, he worked part-time for the probation service for five years, mediating between offenders and their victims. This gave him a good insight into the criminal justice system, and it was during this period that he started to write his first book, The Picasso Scam.

Stuart believed he must have some cowboy genes somewhere in his genome because he always had a strong affinity for the American West. His first visit to the USA was to work for a month at a Wyoming coalmine, and he holidayed over there many times. Although tone-deaf (some would say stone-deaf) he always thought it would be good fun to be a songwriter. The thought of compo
