Welcome, VIPs!

If you’re reading this then you’re officially a DCI Kett VIP, welcome to the club. On this page you’ll find things that you won’t see anywhere else, including behind the scenes reports about every book, photos of locations, and even exclusive short stories and cut scenes. It will take me a long time to collate everything, which is why there isn’t much here at the moment, but hopefully it’s still fun!

If you’d like to see anything here, then reach out and let me know! :-)

PHOTOS!

See some photos from locations in the books, mostly with my gurning face in the way so you can’t really see anything at all!


THE EXTREME CRIME TASK FORCE

A lot of people ask me how I see the characters in the Kett books, and it’s a really difficult question to answer! Everyone who reads the books sees a different version of the characters and the story in their heads, that’s the beautiful thing about reading. The people I see when I am writing are probably very different to the people you see!

However, I recently entered the descriptions of each character into an AI image generator, and the results are uncannily similar to what I see in my head when I am writing. Have a look and see what you think!

And let’s not forget Colin Clare…
