Having said book Nine will be my last one, well…..I’ve said that before……book Ten is on the way. It’s called ‘Seeking Justice’, a full novel this time, not short stories. I’ll keep you posted.

Latest News June 23
Release of Book 9 RESCUE has been secured. It’s a further collection of short stories, on contemporary crime fiction, set in the UK.
It is already available on Amazon and I hope to be present at local craft fayres and events during the year.
This is a further collection of short stories, more directly focused on crime than my last book. The stories are intended to run at a fast pace, to be interesting and stimulating and of course contain elements of the unexpected.
They cover a range of topics, including; challenging situations, politics, theft, fraud, foreign prisoners and consideration for the victims of crime. They are all set in the contemporary era in the UK.
Best wishes for 2023
All Christmas book talks and events for 2022 successfully went ahead, as planned, with good sales results. The final draft of book 9 RESCUE, is now with the publisher and I have asked if it will be realistic to have copies ready for sale at the Uttoxeter craft market on Sat Feb 25th.
Thanks to all for your continued interest and support and best wishes for 2023.
My Books
As we approach Christmas, this is a busy time for book sales. I notice that average book prices have risen significantly recently and I haven’t actually put my prices since I started in 2013. So, I’ve added a modest increase of £1 across the board.
Current prices;
- In the Shadow of the Bayonet £9
- Out of the Shadow £10
- Recovery £9
- Green Terror £8
- Identity £9
- The Welsh Boys £9
- An Island Life £9
- Missing £11
Book talks attendance fee now £60.
These prices are still very competitive. An average paper back now can be as much as £12. If you’re buying online, do check what’s available, some of the big suppliers charge more that. Direct from me, all copies are signed and within the local area I’ll even bring them to you.
I’m excited to be publishing Book 9, RESCUE. I’ve drafted all nine stories and really enjoyed writing them. They are in the publishing process and I anticipate release in Spring 2023.

Book 8 MISSING is out
Book 8 MISSING a collection of ten short stories on contemporary issues is now available on Amazon or directly through me. This project has taken far longer than usual to come to fruition, with the impact of Covid-19 playing a part. It also contains some wider personal comment on criminal justice. As such it is a substantial volume priced at £10.
As always, comments on review formats, the website or direct to me are welcome. I hope you enjoy it.
