I write horse-racing fiction with Richard Pitman, a very good friend as well as a collaborator. Our books have a mystery and thriller element and, usually some romance though beware as there is also a peppering of violence from the bad guys.
Goodreads is a wonderful forum for us to get feedback on our stories. We're far from set in our ways and simply want to entertain our customers. So if feedback from you and others steers us toward the ideal recipe, we will be delighted to write to that recipe.
Now, a little bit about us.

Dick Francis worked on his books with his wife, Mary, before her death. Dick considered his wife to be his co-writer - as he is quoted in the book, "The Dick Francis Companion", released in 2003:
"Mary and I worked as a team. ... I have often said that I would have been happy to have both our names on the cover. Mary's family always called me Richard due to having another Dick in the family. I am Richard, Mary was Mary, and Dick Francis was the two of us together."
Praise for Dick Francis: 'As a jockey, Dick Francis was unbeatable when he got into his stride. The same is true of his crime writing' Daily Mirror '

Rhys Dylan lives on the edge of the Black mountains of Wales with his wife and a dog who doesn't like the rain.
Though he has written books for children and adults under different pen names in other genres, the Black Beacons Murder Mystery series sees him return to crime and his love of Celtic noir and dark humour.
He hopes readers will find a brief escape from a very troubled world inside the stories. He does not expect to get rich as an author, but as someone once famously said, money can't buy you love, but it can get you some great chocolate digestives.
