Murder on the Dance Floor

Now halfway through her globetrotting around the world trip, Patricia Fisher is feeling relaxed and happy on the arm of Captain Alistair Huntley.The peace is soon interrupted though when another calling card is found. They have been turning up for weeks, proof that someone has been breaking into the upper deck suites, but nothing has been stolen and no crime appears to have been committed.There's more going on though. The Aurelia is playing host to a live television event as India's biggest ever show, Stars that Dance come on board for the journey from Chennai to Mumbai. There's a real party atmosphere until the first body is found. It's one of the dancers and there's yet another calling card impaled on the knife through her chest.In true whodunnit style, Patricia is going to have to solve the crime, catch the killer and work out how the calling cards are connected. It's just another day on board the Aurelia. Steve has been writing for years without producing anything that he believed was worth reading. Is he overly critical of his work? Probably, but having taken five years to finish the first book he took only five months for the second and is now working on three more stories simultaneously. He describes his current experience as that of a storyteller with ideas falling uncontrollably out of his ears. He keeps a notepad on his person at all times in case another idea comes to him and can be found scribbling pretty much any time he comes to a stop.He lives not far from where his books are based, but although he was born and raised in Kent he spent most of this adult life as a soldier deployed to various points of the globe. Now retired from the military he has the world's most perfect son and a beautiful wife who is completely convinced his description of the single women in his book is the early stages of a mid-life crisis. It's not love, honest.Influenced by Jim Butcher, Stephen King, Kim Harrison, Derek Landy, Lee Child and Janet Evanovich to name a few, his work will always be a mix of action and thriller mixed with situational comedy. The central character's parents are in no way based on his own. Definitely, definitely not.
