“In the Matter of Isabel is my first novel, inspired by a case I handled as a young and green lawyer and is most probably the reason I’m not an old and grey one now. I owe a huge debt to TLC for matching me up with my wonderful editor Alan Mahar, without whose firm but never less than encouraging hand I most certainly wouldn’t be at this point today. He had that wonderful ability to tell me where I had gone completely off the rails whilst praising me for where I hadn’t. I know from decades of working on TV scripts that the ‘praise sandwich’ is an essential part of getting the best work out of people but sadly is often overlooked. I cannot thank Alan nor TLC enough.”
