I've been telling stories all my life. As an actor I've spent a career telling other people's, from Charles Dickens to David Walliams. As a writer, I get to create my own! I wanted to write a series of books set in a world I would want to spend time in and featuring characters I would want to be with. Most importantly, it would have to feature a grisly murder or two! I love the Victorian era. It seems such a rich period of history, populated by some colourful characters, so that is where we first meet Detective Inspector George Bowman. The Head In The Ice is the first in the Bowman Of The Yard series and follows Bowman's investigation into the discovery of - well, a head in the ice of the River Thames. Over the course of the book, however, and throughout the series in general, we see he has demons of his own to contend with. There are four books in the Bowman Of The Yard series in all, together with some short stories from Bowman's Casebook. These have been collected into two volumes and fill in the gaps between the novels, giving the reader the chance to follow Bowman's professional progress and personal battles (he's a troubled man, as you'll see) over twelve months of his life. 'A masterful new Victorian mystery series.' Rosie Amber books 'A genuinely impressive debut.' Andrew Cartmel 'Full of the thrills of Victorian London.' Adam Croft Aside from my historical fiction, I have been entrusted by the estate of legendary television producer Gerry Anderson to write a series of adaptations and novelisations based on his ‘lost’ or unproduced scripts, including Five Star Five, Intergalactic Rescue 4 and Space Precinct. I really hope you like the books. If you do, you can tweet me your thoughts at @RichardNJames. I hope to hear from you! Richard James 2019 www.richardjamesonline.com
