Welcome dear reader!

I’m so pleased you found my website. My writing/publishing journey began in 2020 with ‘Life’s Winners...and a Few Losers,’an anthology of twenty short stories. In 2021 ‘Five in the Quiver’ followed containing longer tales, some being sequels to those in my first book.

Then, released in 2023, came ‘A Hand Of Aces’ – two novellas in the one volume..

I like to centre around motivational themes, highlighting challenges my characters have thrust upon them.
They need to either sink or swim.
As you will see, they persevere, refusing to be swamped by circumstances beyond their control.

Next, in August 2024 I published a Cold War thriller, Code 1990

Now, to some exciting news!

New Release!

Code 1990

In the shadows of the Cold War, British lieutenant Ben Fletcher risks everything to infiltrate Soviet espionage networks. Decades later, Detective Lillian Boyd unearths a deadly conspiracy tied to his mission.

Ruthless spies, buried secrets, and political betrayal collide in a high-stakes thriller where past and present entwine—and the future of a nation hangs in the balance.

A Hand of Aces

Two novellas in one book.

In ‘Resolution’ we face a perilous descent into the steaming cauldron of the Vietnam War as it reaches its catastrophic climax.

‘Scimitar’ sees two intrepid government security officers working desperately to unravel an international plot, carefully-crafted by a scheming Silk Road oligarch.

Five in the Quiver

Life's challenges . . . sometimes we seek them,
but at other times they are forced upon us.

We trust we will rise to the occasion and prevail,
although the outcome is never guaranteed.

What do we need to win through? Courage?
Determination? Persistence? A desire for justice?

Life’s Winners…
and a Few Losers

Ordinary people – cast into difficult and sometimes
threatening circumstances.

There is courage aplenty to remedy injustice
or bring about much-needed change.
