Having received several hundred emails over the past few years asking for advice on how to write and/or publish a book, I've finally packaged up everything I learned when starting as an indie author into a step-by-step self-publishing course. Bookstrapping is based on...
JD Kirk’s latest Scottish crime fiction novel, One For the Ages, has hit number one in the Amazon Kindle charts. Find out more.
It's publication day for One For the Ages, the 16th book in the DCI Jack Logan series. I've made a little video to celebrate, and in it I also reveal the special publication day present that I bought myself. Check it out below. If you haven't grabbed your copy of the...
It's the moment you've all been waiting for. Or that some of you have been vaguely anticipating. One of those. Whichever, today is the day that I finally launch my exclusive range of JD Kirk Merchandise! Woohoo! Hooray! Yaaaas! etc, etc. Here's how it works. There...
Today has been a good day. Yesterday was less good, as it involved a 7 hour round trip drive to take a family member to a 1 hour hospital appointment, but those are the joys of living in the Highlands of Scotland, and it was quite a nice day out in the end. But today,...
Hello! It's been a while since I last blogged on here, as generally I save all my news for the JD Kirk VIP Club newsletter which goes out a couple of times a month. As such, the website has been a bit neglected of late. I'm going to try to make amends and keep on top...

Last month sometime (I forget when, exactly, because I have the memory of a goldfish) I made the fourteen-hour return trip to London to take part in the award ceremony for the Kindle Storyteller Prize 2021. My... what? Eleventh DCI Logan novel? Something like that. An...

June 5th 2020 will see the publication of two books of mine - A Whisper of Sorrows, the sixth book in the DCI Jack Logan series, and Knochenteppich, which you probably know better as A Litter of Bones, the first book in the series. Knochenteppich is the German...
Hey! What are you doing on Thursday 4th June round about 8pm UK-time? If the answer is 'not a lot' then come along to my virtual launch event for A Whisper of Sorrows over on Facebook. I'll be running a live Q&A, doing a reading, and various other things I haven't...
Psst. Have some top-secret intel on the next book in the DCI Jack Logan crime fiction series.
Finally! After an agonisingly long wait for Audible to go through their approval process (I’ll let them off, they’re pretty short-staffed right now), The Killing Code audiobook is now available worldwide.
Ever wondered what the locations in A Litter of Bones look like in the flesh? They’re not made of actual flesh, obviously. That would be hideous. In real life, I mean. Wonder no more!
