It’s fair to say that I’m knackered. Not as knackered as I was on Sunday evening, but knackered all the same. Obviously I can blame it on age – at least to an extent. Although I know I only did a fraction of what some people did at Newark Book... by Graeme Cumming | Jul 10, 2025 | Events |
The last few weeks have been quite full-on for a variety of reasons. For those who’ve been paying attention, there was, of course, the launch of Borderline. In the aftermath of that, I had the dawning realisation that there were several things I hadn’t got... by Graeme Cumming | Jun 18, 2025 | Book Reviews, Events |
My posts recently have been focused on the launch of my latest novel, Borderline. Now that has been and gone, it’s time to turn my attention to the works of other authors. I first encountered Jo Callaghan last year with her debut novel, In the Blink of an Eye.... by Graeme Cumming | Jun 9, 2025 | Borderline |
What an incredible novel. Cumming’s strong and authentic writing explores the murkiest worlds of covert policing in the most gripping and compelling way. Exquisitely plotted and expertly told. Graham Bartlett Obviously, I... by Graeme Cumming | May 30, 2025 | Literary Festivals |
In less than two weeks, I have the fabulous privilege of sitting in a public space and chatting to two incredible authors. And, if you’re near enough, I’d love you to join us. Let me tell you who they are, and why you should come along. First we have... by Graeme Cumming | May 26, 2025 | Borderline, Writing |
In the week after the psychological thriller For Better, For Worse was released, I will be opportunistic and share its author’s quote for Borderline. Gritty, sharp-witted, and packing a serious emotional punch! And Rand is a hero worth turning the pages... by Graeme Cumming | May 19, 2025 | Book Reviews |
One of the benefits of being an author is that you get to mix with other authors. Not that there’s an authors club or anything like that (at least, I don’t think so), but there are different events that take place over the year and , if you feel the urge,... by Graeme Cumming | May 16, 2025 | Borderline, Writing |
Thirty years ago the dominant voice in PI fiction was Robert B. Parker. His ‘Spenser’ novels are probably the best thing since sliced Chandler. Ever since I first read a Spenser novel I’ve wondered about an English Spenser to no particular conclusion, but in Graeme... by Graeme Cumming | May 6, 2025 | Borderline |
Last week, in writing a review for the book Then We Take Berlin, I commented that the author had been kind enough to give me some feedback for my new novel, Borderline. It’s not the first time I’ve made references to this novel and, to be fair, I’ve... by Graeme Cumming | Apr 28, 2025 | Book Reviews, Fiction |
If things go according to plan, my latest novel, Borderline, will be released in the next couple of months. I’m excited about it because it’s my first book in nearly five years, but also because it’s completely different to either of my previous... by Graeme Cumming | Apr 21, 2025 | Book Reviews |
About three years ago, I featured on the Eight Albums website, a terrific experience that took the Desert Island Discs concept to a whole new level. Inevitably, a Thin Lizzy album featured, along with some tales of my gig-going years. Even now, I look back on that... by Graeme Cumming | Apr 15, 2025 | Book Reviews |
I first met Lauren North about 8 years ago at a gathering of authors and book bloggers. If memory serves me correctly, she was working on her first psychological thriller at the time. Since then, she’s had several published, and I’ve read almost all of...
