WRITER
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

MoreThe Mavericks – April 2004 Warwick Arts Centre, Coventry Driving up to Coventry on a sunny Thursday afternoon I began to think I was mad. It was a two-hour drive, see the boys, back home in the early hours of Friday, work all day, then off to Oxford to see them again! I was looking forward to meeting […]
MoreCardiff and Bristol- April 2004 On a pleasant evening in April, 2004, I found my way to the Point, an old converted chapel in the middle of a new dockside development, a great venue! I knew I was going to have a good time seeing the Roadtrippers in Cardiff; I had been lucky enough to see them […]
