Join the Angel Heights Substack
If you enjoy crime fiction, real‑world murder locations, serial killer psychology and the darker corners of investigative history, my Substack is where I’ll be exploring it all. I’ll be writing regular posts on the places that inspired the Angel Heights world, the cases that shaped Hallam’s career, and the real investigative techniques behind the fiction.
Substack is built for writers who want to share deeper, more personal work — the kind of behind‑the‑scenes detail that doesn’t always make it into the novels. Many crime authors use it to talk openly about research, case studies, character development and the real stories that influence their writing. I’ll be doing the same, but through the lens of Michael Hallam, Ellie Barnes and the expanding Angel Heights universe.
It’s all new territory for me, and I’d love you to be part of it. If you enjoy crime, conspiracies, serial killers and the darker side of life, come and join the Michael Hallam and Ellie Barnes family as the world continues to grow.
