MartynBack in the early 2000s, when I started blogging for the first time, one of the bloggers I regularly read was the crime writer, John Baker.
Like me at the time, John lived in York. He wrote a series of detective novels set in the city featuring his accidential private detective, Sam Turner.
I revisited the series last year, prompting a bit of nostalgia for times, people, and places past.

I’m currently plodding my way through a PhD at Falmouth University, combining the writing of a Cornwall-based cosy-adjacent crime novel with an extended piece of critical work.
In June 2025, my first PhD paper was discussed at the university’s summer symposium. It provides a detailed introduction to the critical aspect of my PhD, exploring the autistic detective trope.
I thought I’d reproduce it on my blog for anyone who might be interested.
