OverviewHow far would you go to stay young and beautiful? A new novelisation of the classic Hammer film, Countess Dracula. You can do anything in Hollywood and be forgiven, anything except grow old... It's the 1930s and cinema stands at the dawn of a new age, the silent era is all but dead, talkies are here and Technicolor is on its way. The whole world loves movie icons Frank Nayland and Elizabeth Sasdy, lapping up each new picture and following their romantic life story both on and off the screen. But all is not as perfect as it appears. Not only has the advent of talkies meant torturous sessions with a vocal coach to try and remove Sasdy's Hungarian accent but she's starting to spot the first few grey hairs, and the lines on her face get deeper every day. If she loses her looks she'll lose everything, but even a woman as powerful as Elizabeth Sasdy can't fight nature. Can she? A chance accident reveals the solution. But just how far is the Queen of Hollywood prepared to go to stay beautiful forever?

He has also written a pair of original Sherlock Holmes novels, The Breath of God and The Army of Doctor Moreau as well as a biography of actor Leonard Rossiter and an updated version of Neil Gaiman's Don't Panic- Douglas Adams & The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He is also the author of Kronos, a novelisation of the classic Hammer film, Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter and Hands of the Ripper, a new novelisation of the classic Hammer film of the same name.
