My Books

This website is to tell you a little about the books I write and where you can find them if you want to read them.

You can also find a little about me and some of the things that interest me and appear in what I write.

I hope you will enjoy the site and reading the books because that is what I write them for.

What I write

I write both fiction and non-fiction and what is known apparently known as narrative non-fiction which are fictional stories based on real events.

I usually write one or two at the same time - or at least I am often doing the research for one book while writing another.

A Quick Guide to the Books
