LATEST RELEASE
Now married to Gray Sowerby, Anna has moved to a new luxury home overlooking Poppit Sands and her own business venture is expanding, with a new branch in the offing.
However, she can't completely escape her past and more than one surprise awaits her. Secrets which she must keep from Gray and her daughter Chloé or all their worlds will fall apart.
Meeting Margot Thomas, an Aberystwyth estate agent, she finds a ready rapport. But will Margot prove to be a good friend or a devious foe. The return of Antoine, thought to be safely back in France, provides the key to that.
Gray, with building partner Jed Evans, is having his own success beyond the extensive businesses inherited from his grandfather and Anna now feels assured of her financial future.
So, once her own secrets are seemingly buried, she can relax and enjoy her elevated place in life. Until a new secret surfaces – only this time one coming from Gray's past.
RECENT RELEASES
The second Anna story
Finding another new arrival in Graham Sowerby, she sees the opportunity for both a partner who'll become her soulmate and a father figure for Chloé. Delving into his past she soon realises there is more to his heritage than she first realised, with the opportunity to also improve her lifestyle.
But does that all tumble down when disastrous, life changing episodes occur?
Drama across the Celtic Sea
Of prime interest is flamboyant Patrick Donoghue, photographer, smuggler and flatterer of women, who plies the Celtic Sea in a luxurious sailing boat. While on home shores Paul has to contend with Stella, Marion's meddlesome twin, spinster, brilliant accountant, and obsessively concerned about the loss of her sister, always laying the fault at Paul's door.
As the truth unfolds, for Paul and for Kathy, will it bring happiness or sorrow?
A diverse choice
The books I write cover a diversity of genres and are aimed simply at providing entertaining reads, rather than great literary works. Novels you can bury yourself in for escapist pleasures and compilations of shorter works that showcase a plethora of mood teasers. There's drama, there's humour, there's the joy of living, the despair of death, in the present and in the future, plus a few much darker tales that cross the line from our world to those we only imagine – or perhaps prefer not too.
No heavy reading. Just books to enjoy.
But the books aren't the end of the story. There are tales as yet unpublished and some published elsewhere on lit-mag websites, including The Cabinet of Heed, Reflex Press, The Molotov Cocktail, Ad Hoc Fiction, and Paragraph Planet. And while some new writing will appear first on this website, other stories plucked from my books, or previously published elsewhere, might also be highlighted from time to time.
All the titles found here are just to give you a taste of what you will find in Paperback or Kindle eBook formats direct from Amazon, with some also listed online at Waterstones.
Short stories or flash fiction for those whose life is a whirl.
On the Shorts page you'll find shorter works, which will sometimes be an entirely new story or one not published in any of the compilations. Or perhaps just a story from way back in the archives, that some might not have read before. It's always worth taking a look to see the frequent updates to this website.
