Every month we like to feature an author who has caught our eye or inspired us. You can find their books by searching for their titles on our online catalogue or pop into your local library.

Tim Sullivan

Tim Sullivan is a novelist, film director and an established screenwriter, his credits include, A Handful of Dust, Where Angels Fear to Tread, Jack and Sarah and Letters to Juliet. He also directed several episodes of Coronation Street and Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett. He has now embarked on a series of crime novels featuring the eccentric and socially-awkward, but brilliantly persistent DS George Cross. Set in Bristol in the south west of England, Cross’ methods often infuriate his colleagues, but his conviction rate, thanks to his dogged persistence and attention to detail, is the best in the force. His first two books The Dentist and The Cyclist were downloaded over 200,000 times in the first five months of their publication. He has since written four other novels and is the UK chair of the Writers Guild of America (West).
