Since 1995 I've chosen all the authors. Some I've worked with
intensively, other less so.

Dale,
John Dale's Dark Angel was the very first title I was
involved with, and a really good book I think - genuine
Sydney noir. His second The Dogs Are Barking is okay, but
Dark Angel is the one to go for. The other Australian title
I've been involved with is Caroline Shaw's Cat Catcher,
possibly the only hb cat novel I've ever come across.
