I’ve been so fortunate during my career to have garnered a loyal and generous fan base, many of whom come from the North East, where my DCI Ryan series is set and where I was born, and grew up.

It covers a host of different prizes, grants and wellbeing projects launching over the coming months designed to support creative arts, literacy and local enterprise – as well as spotlighting some of the incredible people, landscapes, talent and hard work.”  You can read more here!

    The North East is quite simply the best place in the world to live: the people, the scenery, the history, and let’s not forget the magnificence that is Durham Cathedral. We are so lucky to have the likes of LJ Ross and Ann Celebes writing books set in our area.

    I’ve just finished reading my first LJ Ross book today – Holy Island, and am hooked. I want to read the next one straight away but have to feed my family! I feel as if I’ve escaped on a mini break to Northumberland.

    I love D C Ryan’s books. My daughter and her family live in Hartlepool so I often visit the North East. My daughter used to run a games cafe so is a strong supporter of local suppliers. I’m currently in the Isle of Man so some North Eastern goodies would remind me of our visits.
