Welcome to my home page.
Or, should I say, the home for whatever books I manage to write.
So far there have been three. 
My first was The Rose Tattoo and huge thanks to everyone who bought that in paperback or as a download.
Quite honestly, if it hadn’t been for you guys I’m not sure whether my second, The Lock Keeper, would have seen the light of day.
Then we were three with the launch of The End of the Pier, and now we have number four: The Last Laugh.
It is, of course, not for me to judge whether any of them is any good. But what I would like to say is that they are all completely different. 
In other words (literally) it hasn’t been a case of inventing a main character who will now feature in a series of stories, nor settling on a style or genre and staying there.
The stories I have written so far are just ideas that forced their way into my head and then, after (probably not enough) cogitation, demanded to be written down. They have their own characters, their own settings and, with luck, their own life.
If there is an element of similarity, my aim – and I’m almost certainly
pushing my luck here – has been to offer up a plot which I trust will keep the reader turning the pages. But also, maybe from a retrospective point of view, attempting to offer a something of an additional story as one of the characters develops as those pages flick by. I would naturally be very pleased if this is apparent.
The good news is that, if I don’t get any more ideas, there won’t be any more books. Or short stories – which would be a fun idea.
So I hope you might want to join me on this little journey to see where it takes us.
Or indeed what mysterious paths we might all wander down together in the literary future.
And finally, a big shout out to huge American film companies, and even little British ones. All these books have got Oscar Awards written all over them! Not by me obviously, but by your talented team of script writers who will turn my dross into pure gold statues. And make lots of money for you, especially considering how cheap I am. Just thought I’d mention it.
