dark psychological fiction

Books, Reading

Noir is more than rain-soaked streets and dangerous women. It explores flawed people, hidden motives and choices made under pressure.

I Sent My Friend To The Top of My Yacht’s Mast Because I’m Scared of Heights

Reading, SEETHINGS

I’m afraid of heights, so when my yacht’s masthead light failed, I sent my boastful mate Graham up instead—at least in fiction. Climbing a mast takes skill, nerve and trust, especially when every movement below becomes a sweeping arc above. That’s why yachties should never underestimate the risk involved.
