D.M.James

DM James is the crime-writing alias of writer Dan Metcalf. After years of writing for children, Dan decided to turn to crime (in literary terms only) and hasn’t looked back. DM James now lives in his mind part-time, smoking roll-ups and gambling away his royalties. Both Dan and DM live in the southwest of England and struggle with a crippling addiction to biscuits.

He is the author of the Jefferson Cole Investigations – short, sharp crime stories that can be read in one sitting. Join Private Eye Cole and his long-suffering assistant Dylan as he attempts to negotiate life, crime, murder and dept in these easily accessible tales of detection.
