I am a writer living in the west of England; I have written fourrteen novels, my latest being 'Winterdyke' This is the latest of the seven Radwinter genealogical mysteries series, all available on Amazon - the eighth in the series due to appear in early summer. I have written seven other novels, a guide to writing, three stories for reluctant readers and two anthologies with other writers. All are available as eBooks and paperbacks. I hope my blog will engage you with my other interests, music, family history travel, and food... Most of all I hope you engage with my writing and my thoughts on the process... at least, on my process!! You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

Hot Fuzz… a favourite film!

A film I can watch over and over again and still crack up with laughing is ‘Hot Fuzz’ starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. I know the location very well as it was filmed in Wells, in Somerset. Every time I visit the town I can’t help but remember different parts of the film.
