All The Children is the best crime novel I have ever read ? Timothy Hill, author

Newly-graduated Police Lieutenant Michelle Garcia is quickly promoted to detective in the Women and Children Protection Center where she has to confront the ugly side of life and crime, and given these crimes are extraordinarily profitable, this task is far from easy or safe, as Michelle soon discovers.

Writing a novel didn't cross my mind until relatively recently, when I went to the local library and couldn't find a book that interested me. That led me consider a new pastime. Write a book. That book may never be published, but I felt my follow-up cross-cultural crime with romance hybrid set in Russia had more potential. So much so that I wrote a sequel that took those characters on a journey to a very dark place.

Once those books were published and garnered good reviews I wrote in a very different place and time, and my two novels set in Victorian Britain and published in July and August of 2014. I followed those up with various novels set in various places at various times, with the most recent being a story set in the Syrian Civil War.
