In My Own Words:
Growing old disgracefully. I wear heels, still, long flowing clothes (that's the medieval influence, I think) love researching for my historical books, busy with a biography at the moment of a medieval earl, very involved and fascinating. I love my island where I live.

Interests
medieval historian, author of Captain Of The Wight, a book on a piece of medieval island history, medium, writer, editor, photographer, love crime books, horror books, all types of music outside of classical and rap.

Plea of Insanity by Jilliane Hoffman
Plea of Insanity by Jilliane Hoffman

unfortunately I keep saying that, but Ms Hoffman does have a problem with eyes. I do wonder if any authors ever read the reviews we post, if they do, I hope she takes notice that eyes never actually leave a person's head.

4.0 out of 5 stars seeing both sides, 1 Mar 2009
I have read the reviews here and sympathise with both sets of viewpoints. Retribution was an outstanding first novel, written with pace and style. Last Witness is not an outstanding novel but, by skipping all the legalese and acronyms, easy to do, I got into the story and really needed to know Who Did It by the end. I was disappointed to find that we have to wait some time for the third book, to see whether Bantling gets his comeuppance in the end. Tension and a good storyline somewhat drowned by the need to reiterate key factors from book one, main fault, some lazy writing 'his eyes fell on the paperwork' which detracted and shows a lack of revision and editorial skill (my editor hasn't… Read more
