My novels
Novels I have written… many set around the fictional town of Easthope, but others set in the North of England.
Stories I have written for young people, who may be literate and even fluent at reading but are reluctant to do so. it is hoped that this would lead them to be creative with language and maybe write themselves.

The green-eyed monster
Iago: O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-ey’d monster, which doth mock The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss, Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger: But O, what damnèd minutes tells he o’er Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves! Othello: O misery!

There is a major episode near the […]
MoreA slight delay…
OK… I know I announced with great excitement that ‘Loving Judah’ would be coming out tomorrow… Well, there’s no easy way to announce a late arrival, even if you work for British Rail (as was!) Maybe rather than late, I should say delayed, I’m sure that’s what railway announcers do! OK, so ‘Loving Judah’ will be […]
MoreRevision, revision, revision
Revising for exams is thankfully a thing of the past,and I was always quite good at it… except I had the uncanny knack of focusing on the wrong things when I revised! Now I’m revising ‘Loving Judah’ – to be published on Wednesday… I’ve been working on it for a while so this is the last tightening […]
MoreCounting down…
Counting down… I immediately think of David Bowie’s ‘Major Tom’ but I’m only launching my next novel! ‘Loving Judah’ will be available from Amazon as an e-book next Wednesday!! Hurrah – or oh heck! I feel as if I have so much still to do, although I’ve been working on it for a couple of months now. As […]
MoreWriting a novel in a month… dare I?
Thanks to a WordPress blog, National Novel writing month has been drawn to my attention… http://4amwriter.com/2012/10/22/writers-start-your-engines/ I’ve read about it before but never more than vaguely contemplated doing it. However, having decided that ‘Loving Judah’ will be published on October 31st, maybe I should set myself a new challenge for November. I have decided my next published book will be ‘Night Vision’… but that comes from […]
