Old enough to know better and young enough not to care. I'm married with a wife and three daughters.
Since I left school I've supported myself with farming, freelance writing and some consultancy.
The consultancy dried up a bit so having time on my hands I wrote the fantasy novel 'Swords for a Dead Lady'. This is on Amazon as an e-book. It didn't hurt so I did it again, and 'Dead Man Riding East' is also available on Amazon. A third book, 'The Flames of the City,' and a fourth book, 'Learning a Hard Trade', set in the same background, are now available.
Then as a bit of a change I produced a shorter book, 'The Cartographer's Apprentice' which is something of a 'prequel' to the story of Benor Dorfingil.

The Touchdown Collection

Another day, another SF novel. Rather than a ‘series’ I have in mind a ‘Touchdown Collection.’ Same worlds, same characters, same universe. But the idea is that each book is complete with its own ending and no cliff-hangers. The books will follow on from each other, but ideally not so you’ll have to read them …

Jim and 3 other people liked Pam Baddeley's review of The Lost Boys (DS Cross Chronicles, #1): "This is a short story as an introduction to a series. I found the writing style rather pedestrian and had a few problems with the story.

Jim and 2 other people liked Ann Bradbury's review of Fifteen Coffins: "I don't seem to be lucky with novels about female cops or FBI agents. Usually, they are portrayed as having a short fuse and acting foolishly out of a misguided attitude that to ask for help is showing weakness. So I found the protagonist Sydney Merl" Read more of this review »

Another cracking story. Far too often I put off reading fiction because so I can be so often disappointed. Also the author has set herself such a high standard, it is so easy to fall short. But in this case I was disciplined. I finished the book I was ...more
