D.H. Smith

I write under two names: DH Smith and Derek Smith.

DH Smith is the name I am using for my crime series, Jack of All Trades, set in the area of East London (UK) where I live. 12 have been published to date.

I began by writing plays, and have had them produced on radio, TV and the stage. I was involved in a community bookshop in the 80s, and began writing for children. I have had three books for young adults published by Faber and one by Walker Books. The rest of my children's books are self published.

In 2013 I began writing my Jack of All Trades crime series. They are all printed by my own imprint Earlham Books. Both my identities are on my website:

In 2019, I published 'Writing a Crime Novel' for would-be crime write

Pamela Fagan Hutchins

I'm a USA Today bestselling mystery/suspense/thriller author and a big horse and sled dog enthusiast.

My hunky husband and I ride our beloved draft cross horses way up in the frozen north of Snowheresville, WY, where we run a rustic, off-the-grid lodge on the face of the Bighorn Mountains. When I'm not writing or riding, I'm passionate about wilderness sports, always with a couple of rescue dogs, bear spray, a mountain lion knife, and my Judge. NO ANIMALS HAVE BEEN HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS LIFE ADVENTURE (but don't sneak up on me).

I've made some lists and won some awards, yada yada. Amazon Charts Top 25 bestseller. USA Today Bestseller. The Silver Falchion for Best Adult Mystery WINNER (Fighting for Anna), the WINNERS for USA Best Books

Eileen Thornton

Since beginning a comprehensive writing course with The Writers Bureau in 2001, my articles and short stories have been published in a variety of magazines. These include Heritage, Scottish Field, The Lady and People’s Friend. In 2005 a couple of my short stories were included in two quite different anthologies. The first story was in an International Anthology, published in June, while the second appeared in Café Ole – Too Hot To Handle, which was launched in Glasgow during August.

My debut novel, The Trojan Project, an action thriller, was published at the end of May 2008 by Austin & Macauley Publishers Ltd. Now my novel is to be re-published in the USA later this year with a brand new cover. Details of my novel can be found on my website

Jacquelyn Smith

Jacquelyn Smith is a Canadian author from the outskirts of Toronto, Ontario, where apologies are a regular part of most social interactions, and the second ‘T’ in ‘Toronto’ is definitely silent. (Sorry.)

Jacquelyn writes adventures in both mystery and epic fantasy. Her fantasy works include the World of Lasniniar series—home to elves, dwarves, and dragons—and the Fatal Empire series, where deadly assassins and forbidden magic rule the land. Her mystery works include the kick-ass Kira Brightwell series and the Mackenzie Quinn Canadian cozy mysteries, which both betray Jacquelyn’s quirky sense of humor. (Sorry, not sorry.)

Jacquelyn originally published several of the earlier titles in the Kira Brightwell series under the pen name Kat Irwin be

Hello! I'm a British author whose crime thrillers combine psychology, suspense, and characters you care about.

All my novels are set in London, where I live. My first trilogy starred Zac Boateng and Kat Jones, two detectives motivated by family, who tackle organised crime and police corruption. LAST WITNESS, the second Boateng and Jones book, reached #13 in the UK Kindle chart in 2019.

My second series features detective Dan Lockhart - an ex-soldier with a missing wife - and psychologist Dr Lexi Green, an American living in London. These novels are darker, more psychological serial-killer cases, with romantic relationships as a central theme.
