My First Book

My story, Legally Lucky is soon to be available to read on Google Books

This was my first foray into fiction... A Lottery winning family man struggles to balance his ideal life with real life. Legal drama with a

humane angle. 

It was the story that was busting to be shared. I first released it into the public domain in February 2011. Now, having written many novels of multiple genres, I have started the process to release this to a wider public. Watch out for the release date for this and I will keep you posted.

Thriller movie

Mental Dental: (Murder by Proxy) Think you know what happens when you sit in the dentist’s chair? Think again.

​Mental Dental (Murder By Proxy) pulls back the curtain on a game of dark manipulation where the real damage isn't done with a drill—it's done from the shadows. One proxy. One sinister motive. Zero chance you'll look at your next appointment the same way again.

New cover for an older title

With the aid of Ai, I have given one of my older titles, a refresh and given it a comedic, colourful and appropriate cover.

Precio us cover was as this one. 

The new cover is refreshing, gunny and I think, denotes the features of the funny tale within.

Blood Across The Straits

New out today... Blood Across The Straits: The Covenant Of The Three Shores, A gripping historical thriller full of more twists than a slinky facrory and more turns than a doorknob. 

When a British tourist is found dead in a locked room at Gibraltar’s historic Bristol Hotel, Detective Inspector Daniel Ferris expects a routine coroner’s inquiry. But Mara Vega—head archivist at the Garrison Library—sees what the police missed: a fresh, microscopic mark stamped into the victim's wrist—an inverted dagger over a three-pointed crown.

It is the ancient execution mark of the Veiled Hand, an order of guardians bound by the Covenant of the Three Shores—a secret 14th-century treaty signed between powerful mercantile houses in Gibraltar, Spain, and Morocco to maintain an untraceable transit corridor across the Strait.

When a second marked body surfaces across the bay in Algeciras, Mara and Ferris are drawn into a deadly conspiracy that spans three countries. The centuries-old Covenant has been hijacked by a rogue consortium using the ancient smuggling routes to launder billions across European borders.

To protect the network, the syndicate activates the Retaliation Clause—a ruthless protocol designed to erase any whistle-blower and their entire bloodline. Framed for treason and hunted by lethal tactical operatives, Mara and Ferris must flee across the storm-churned waters of the Strait to the labyrinthine Medina of Tangier, racing to assemble the three missing pieces of the master ledger before the executioner claims the final Custodian.

From subterranean WWII tunnels carved deep inside the Rock of Gibraltar to the shadowed alleys of North Africa, Blood Across The Straits is an edge-of-your-seat historical conspiracy thriller packed with relentless action, ancient intrigue, and high-stakes geopolitical drama. 

It's now available now on Amazon Books. Blood Across The Straits

Crowdfunding a Future

OK, Help Turn a Novel Into a Film

Every great film starts with a story.

Mental Dental (Murder By Proxy) began as a novel. Now, the next step is to turn that story into a professional screenplay and put it in front of the people who can help bring it to the big screen.

I'm raising funds to work with professional screenwriters to adapt the novel—and its sequel, Obsession of the Damned—for the film industry.

You could help make that first step possible.

This isn't about funding a finished movie.

It's about helping create the screenplay that could make the movie possible.

If you believe independent stories deserve a chance, please consider supporting the project.

One story. One screenplay. One opportunity to reach the big screen.

Being an author is not easy... Rant

Rant on: Writing a book is the easy part, marketing your work is the hardest bit... Made harder by mindless morons who openly critique, generalise and on the whole, degrade any work by trying to hide behind their social media profiles!

Having just written and published the fourth Melvin The Hairy Frog story, I mistakenly posted something on a couple of Facebook groups that are full of these small minded little people, brave in insulting my efforts being safely tucked behind their keyboards.

However, the lesson has been learnt... Don't post anything to instigate these morons, after all, that's what makes them happy, makes them replicate their cowardly behaviour. Like the Borg in Star Trek, they aren't able to think for themselves and work together... Safety in numbers, though they remain cowardly.

So what was the issue? The use of AI to produce the drawings.

I had written Melvin The Hairy Frog many years ago but delayed bringing it to market because my illustrations were not matching the story line.

Once I used AI to produce the illustrations how I liked them, I was happy and readers were happy. 

Well suddenly, I am the devil incarnate according to these US based group of illustrators... Wow, talk about fanatics!! They can't be that confident about their abilities if they puke up this sort of thing aimed at potential collaborators. 

These Trolls hide in Children's Book Author groups! They aren't authors, so if anything, why are they lurking?

Anyway, free speech and all that is fine but do not hurl abuse at people you don't know!

Anyway, rant done. No, there's still a little more:

AI still produces damn good illustrations and I will continue to use AI for my illustrations. I certainly couldn't work with these horrible trolls on anything!!

Here's something AI produced earlier..

Revisiting an old favourite

The Phantasms In The Infirmary series was written with the experience of decades of hospital work. Night shifts in the older hospitals were where these stories mainly manifested themselves.

There are several short stories in the four books that will set your hairs up on end... Spooky, scary and quite the journey through some troublesome episodes whilst trying to care for the infirm.

Simply why you need to red it...

So... Why "Must" you read this book? Funny Grandparenthood Book

Well, simply because of the following reasons which were my primary drivers to writing it...

​It Explores the Ultimate Clash of Eras:

​The book captures a hilarious cultural phenomenon that millions are experiencing right now: the comedic warfare between old-school, unstructured parenting (from the ’80s and ’90s) and modern, hyper-regulated, tech-driven parenting.

Watching a grandfather who believes in "margarine for a bruised forehead" deal with a shared color-coded Google Calendar and a 14-page child protocol is pure comedic gold.

It's the Perfect "Tactical Validation" for Dads and Grandpa's. 

​For every man who has ever been told that his waistband is too high, that his narrative choices are too gendered or that he's violating a toddler's "mindfulness rest window," this book is an anthem.

It laughs with grandparents, celebrating their timeless wisdom, their instinct to let kids play with empty cardboard boxes and their essential role as a sanctuary from the high-stress rules of the modern world.

It Highlights the Secret "Grandparent Cartel"

​Readers will love the laugh-out-loud subversion of the grand-parental underground market. From hidden cellophane bags of high-fructose neon gummies in the grandfather clock to wiping away blue raspberry evidence before the "Feds" (the parents) get home. The book hilariously details the covert operations grandpas use to become the ultimate favorite ally.

It Defeats Silicon Valley with Heart. 

​In a world full of cloud-synchronized cybernetic teddy bears requiring 45-page End User License Agreements and smart-mattresses tracking sleep architecture, this book delivers a beautifully warm message. It shows that at the end of the day, a grandfather strumming a vintage acoustic guitar or building a fort always wins over an algorithm.

​It Packages Deep Love and Pride in Absolute Chaos. 

​Beneath the laugh-out-loud comedy, the book is a love letter to being a grandparent. It perfectly captures that overwhelming, emotional moment of holding a grandchild's messy drawing or watching them sleep, summarizing both the total confusion of the modern world and the absolute, unfiltered joy of leaving a legacy.

​In short: People should read this book because it’s the funniest, most honest look at how love, common sense @and a few forbidden sweets can conquer the high-tech toddler apocalypse!
