A Trip to The English Lake District
Derwent Water, seen from the edge of Keswick. You’ll find the full article, with many illustrations, here on Medium, where the link will let non-members read the piece in full without charge. My non-writing posts will generally appear on Medium from now, as I intend to keep this website dedicated to my books and writing. Shortly, there’ll be a post on the Work In Progress, at last!
Show Your Work, by Austin Kleon: Book Review

With Luck, The Website Reconstruction Is Done!
I’m a storyteller, a creator of imagined players set in diverse surroundings and faced with challenges to entertain readers. I’m not a techie, so this task of modernising and redesigning my website has been a challenge. I hope the result is to your liking. And, as I always say, ‘Enjoy the read!’
Website Under Reconstruction
Just to let you know my website is under reconstruction. I’m finding a few problems and seeking some technical help from WordPress, so hopefully it will be up and running again in the not-too-distant! Wish me luck.
Start Here
Book series ought to deliver what the author promises in the first book of such a group. The two trilogies introduced here are already complete, each with three volumes published and available. You can begin the adventure confident that the end of the story is already written, completed and set in print.Both these trilogies were written before most of the world caught up with the initial thoughts…

Website Under Reconstruction
Just to let you know, this website, which has been around for quite a while, is being redesigned and modernised. Due to the amount of content on the original site, this is taking a little more time that originally anticipated. Please bear with me while I complete this process and return to some form of normality! Thank you.
Please Note, Site Is Under Reconstruction
Sorry for any confusion or surprise. I am in the process of modernising and redesigning my website here. This involves a relatively steep learning curve for me, so please be patient as I deal with this process. Thank you.
50 Years Since 1975 Drought & Heatwave, Breaking Faith Is Set In That Year.
My novel, Breaking Faith, a Romantic Thriller is set in England and Scotland during the extended drought and heatwave of 1975, 50 years ago. We’ve just suffered (or enjoyed, depends on your love or hate of heat!) another unusual heatwave here in England. It didn’t last as long this time, and many places continued to have rainfall. But the book may remind those who were around at the time, and…
Have You Read An Excess Of…?
Continuing last week’s theme, here I’m letting you know more about my latest published novel, An Excess Of…, which refuses to be classified in a single genre. Some categories that fit will, I hope, also suit your reading preferences: Eco Thriller, Literary Fiction, Environmental Disaster Novel, Shipwreck Survival Story, Future Pandemic.A short introduction: Six strangers. One shipwreck. A world…
Have You Read Breaking Faith?
I’m trying something new today. I’d like more readers for my books and you might be tempted to become one of them. There’ll be one a week, in no particular order. My first published novel, Breaking Faith, is a romantic thriller. With elements of betrayal, excitement, tragedy, sex, despair, hope, longing, fulfilment, and love it’s been well received by those who’ve read it. A short…
More Progress On The WIP
I’ve finally finished the stage of adding contemporaneous events to the storyline. Rendering such happenings in a way that allows them to integrate seamlessly with the story, rather than appear as mere markers in time, isn’t easy, but I believe I’ve managed it.Now I need to begin the slightly more tedious technical edit to spot repetitions. This includes the overuse of certain words as well as…
Further Progress On The WIP
I should’ve done this last weekend, but life events can sometimes get in the way of best intentions, can’t they?No matter, here’s the latest update on the current novel I’m wrestling into presentable form. I last updated you on 3rd April, here. At that time, I’d already started inconspicuously inserting historic events into the timeline of the story and had reached Chapter 12 of the 42. Today,…
The Greek Myths, by Robert Graves: #BookReview.
The edition of this book that I read is the two-volume hardback from the Folio Book Club. It is illustrated and very well presented, making it a pleasure to hold and behold, but the content is the same as that published in the ordinary single volume. The Greek Myths: what a tangled web of history, conjecture, literary theft, overlapping accounts, extremes of imaginative speculation and downright…
Progress On The WIP?
As promised, surprisingly I’m managing to convert intentions to action, so here’s a brief report on current activity on the WIP. See my post on 22nd March here. The process of adding factual, real events to the novel is moving forward. Perhaps not as rapidly as I’d hoped, but movement is movement and we have to be thankful for small mercies. I do, anyway!I’m about to start on Chapter 12 of the…
Whose Death Is It Anyway?
Photo by Richard Catabay on Unsplash rendered as monochrome by myself to suit the mood of the post. I don’t often post about such matters as this here on the blog, reserving them for the other blogging platform I use, Medium, where I posted this piece a couple of days ago. However, this particular topic if of significant importance to me, so I’m placing the post here to gain maximum traction.…
So, What About This Work In Progress?
Photo of me working on this post, taken by my lovely wife. I realised today, whilst doing some work on the WIP, I hadn’t reported on progress since Boxing Day last year! My apologies for that neglect. It wasn’t intended. It was incidental, partly dependent on events and priorities beyond my control. No excuses, but please accept my heartfelt apology for what looks like neglect of my…
