Author Sean Cameron has coined the term 'Daft Noir' to describe his books.

How great is that?! I love it.

Sean is a UK transplant, now living in Los Angeles with his wife and wee daughter. As you'll hear in our interview, he grabs writing time whenever he can, given that parenting comes first - and with a toddler that can be complicated!

He's got plans for several more books in the Rex and Eddie series. You'll hear him talk about the particular challenges of his hapless detectives, and why solving mysteries without a license is kind of like being Batman. ;-)

This episode of It's a Mystery Podcast is sponsored by the brand new Town Called Horse short mystery, Water Horse.

The Town Called Horse is reeling when its connection to the outside world is cut off. Arthur ‘Sully’ Sullivan’s passenger and freight ship has burned in the night. There are no witnesses, no clues, and any evidence that might have existed has been swallowed by the lake.

Transcription of Interview with Sean Cameron

Alexandra: Hi mystery readers, I'm Alexandra Amor, this is "It's a Mystery" podcast and I'm here today with Sean Cameron. Hi Sean.

Sean: Hello.

Alexandra: How are you today?

Sean: I'm good, how are you?

Alexandra: I'm good, thanks. So let me let our listeners know a little bit about you.

Sean Cameron is a writer who has previously worked as an online content producer, music journalist and a video game writer.

He's the author of the British comedy series Rex and Eddie's Mysteries. The books follow Rex and Eddie, a pair of inept private detectives who bumble their way through cases in the drowsy town of Cloisterham. Filled with witty dialogue, silly hi-jinks and clever twists, this daft noir series is equal parts a British comedy and gripping thriller.

Born and raised in Rochester, England, Sean lives in Los Angeles with his American wife and toddler.
