Merry Christmas 2020

Posted: December 24th, 2020 | No Comments »

Apologies for not being as prolific this year as i should have been – viruses and all that. I did manage to publish my audiobook Murders of Old China with Audible this time last year; i managed to get my researched novella on WW2, Jewish refugees and Macao, Strangers on the Praia, out (available here and online bookstores – and bookstores if you’re in Hong Kong or China). Briliantly the podcast of Strangers with RTHK3 in Hong Kong was nominated for a New York Radio Festivals Award for best audiobook – Emma Thompson won for something or other but it was nice to be a finalist. Also, a lot went on behind the scenes that will hopefully soon see the light of day.

I can tell you that book #2 in the Destination…. series, Destination Peking, is out early next year in Asia and everywhere by the spring (feel free to preorder) and my 2 hour true crime docudrama Peking Noir (with a full cast!) is on BBC Radio 3 on January 10th at 7.30pm (UK time) and afterwards at some point on the BBC Sounds app. So more old China coming at you from the getgo of 2021….

In the meantime, here’s Peking Union Medical College in the 1930s and in the snow …
