The Darkness Within

January 24, 2021 by Graeme Hampton

New for 2021.

A new year and a new book! My latest novel, The Darkness Within, was published earlier this month by Hera Books. It’s always an exciting time when a novel comes out, yet slightly tinged with anxiety: will people like it? Will it do well…? So far, reviews have been encouraging and the book is doing well in the Kobo charts. 

The story takes East London MIT detectives Denning & Fisher on their third outing, and deals with the repercussions from crimes committed decades before. I wanted to explore what happens when someone is denied justice for a serious crime and then has to live with the knowledge that the people responsible will probably remain unpunished for the rest of their lives.

I’m already working on book 4 in the series, which will hopefully be coming out later in 2021. Details will follow in a later blog…

I love to hear from readers, so please feel free to get in touch, either via the website, or find me on social media: Twitter – @Gham001, or on Instagram – @graeme_hampton. If anyone has read The Darkness Within, or any of the books in the series, it would be great if you could leave a review on Amazon, Kobo, or Goodreads.

Thank you,

Graeme

Book 3

September 6, 2020 by Graeme Hampton

This week I finally completed the third book in the Denning & Fisher series – title to be revealed soon – and sent it off to my publishers. Now the hard slog of structural and copy edits begin, which I never mind too much as they inevitably make it a better book. The novel’s due out in January next year. Without giving too much of the plot away, the story will see DI Matt Denning and DS Molly Fisher investigate the murder of a former detective inspector, that may or may not be linked to a brutal attack on a retired academic. Journalist Magda Kilbride makes re-appearance – possibly to cause more trouble for Molly – and we delve further into the background of Denning’s wife, Sarah, and Molly’s partner, Jon.

It’s always an exciting time when a new book is about to come out, and I can’t wait to see the cover design for Book 3. I’m eternally grateful to Hera Books for giving me the opportunity to bring Denning & Fisher to life, and couldn’t ask for a better publisher.

In the meantime, a massive thank you to everyone who has bought a copy of Know No Evil and Blood Family, and an extra-special thank you to everyone who has left a review on Amazon, Kobo, Goodreads, or any of the other websites. Reviews are always appreciated, and I value readers’ feedback.

A writer’s progress.

October 6, 2019 by Graeme Hampton

It’s now been 3 months since my first novel was published. I’m currently working on the edits for Book 2, which will be out early next year.

I’ve been encouraged by the positive reviews I’ve received for KNOW NO EVIL, and by the comments people have sent me, either via the website or on Twitter. It still feels slightly unreal calling myself a published author after years of rejection and dashed hopes. However, I’m proof that if you believe in something enough it can eventually happen.

As ever, I’m grateful to Hera Books for giving me the opportunity to become a published author, and for believing in me.
