Roots- Neanderthal Man

The book I orders has arrived on its release date. Excellent...

I look forward to to reading up on the findings of Clive, Geraldine and Stuart Finlayson.
I have known them all my life and Geraldines family live in the same block of flats as my family. In fact, her brother, John, was a school mate of mine so supporting the local authors, history and roots is important. The passion to learn about our forefathers is also extremely useful.

Having been born in Gibraltar, the Neanderthal story is something I have always had an interest in. Curiosity over who we are, why we are who we are and how we got here are questions we all ask... However, originating from a place where the first Neanderthal remains were found, and nothing done, it increased my interest.
Had action taken place when the bones were found, Neanderthals would be called Gibraltar man.
In many ways, I'm thankful the name was not adopted, otherwise it may have incurred a ribbing from those less fortunate 😜

This statement in itself is a corruption because this book explains how Neanderthals were thinking cave dwellers, they hunted and catalogued their lives in paintings and certainly learnt from nature. Not just 'cavemen' .

I look forward to reading and learning more.
I've tweeted Clive to make sure my copy gets autographed next time I'm in Gib.

All of a sudden...

All of a sudden, there's a positive surge in downloads /readership of my novels.
I'm not complaining, however my newest addition to, Obsession of the Damned, is not getting any!
Phobic Wars, Phantasms in the Infirmary Vol I and Mental Dental (Murder by Proxy) are doing really well though.
My hope with this is that some of these will convert to readers reviews, encouraging others to read my creations, including Obsession of the Damned.

Please pass this on, share and get these novelas reviewed, read and popularity increases...

Thanks folks

Book your appointment

Thrill seekers... Book your appointment with one of my books.
If it's choice you are after, there are a few already penned and available to select.
From Legally Lucky, the first novel inspired by hope, dreams and aspirations of money to the second instalment of the psychological Thriller Obsession of The Damned, part of the continuing Mental Dental (MBP) series.
In between them, there are Phobic Wars, Phantasms in the Infirmary Vol I and Vol II plus a little more on The Ultimate Phantasms in the Infirmary, a veritable horror fest of hospital hauntings. There's even a Spanish version, which is on Kindle Countdown Deal in a day's time.
Then there's a comedy, Hilarity in the Hills...
As my catalogue increases, I think it caters for different moods, genres and taste in contemporary fiction.
The writing style is mine, so I hope you can consider them and enjoy them?
All I ask for is that you write an honest review of what you think of them.
Why? Well, we are all learning and this helps to target my future exploits. It also means more people get to know my books and makes them more readable and accessible to others.

Enjoy what's left of the summer and chill with one of the RPG Books.

Infants fun and educational book

Extending my portfolio of books, I have written and illustrated a book for infants.
It is called I Don't Like It
It is a pre-school / early years easy read for the parents to read with the child.
It is about learning to eat new foods and trying new flavours / textures, aimed at the difficult eaters.
It will be fun without the drag of a difficult dining experience that some families suffer.
The inspiration for this was my nephew, who for many years, was only eating chicken nuggets and chips!
No Fruit, no veg, no other meats, just chicken nuggets and chips!
A few tweaks are needed and then, it will be available for all to read, hopefully as an interactive book on kindle, but also as a colour paperback.
As I said, the illustrations will be mine too...
Exciting...
Here is the working cover:
