about me

I've been writing on and off for about 20 years. Due to circumstances changing, most things were unfinished until recently.

I have completed two full length novels, Spies, Lies and Pies and The Bailout. The first part of Spies, Lies and Pies and The Bailout are uploaded here.

The Bailout has been selfpublished and is available on Amazon and Smashwords.

Spies, Lies and Pies is a bit of fun. It's book one of the 'Pastrionage' series, following the life of an inept spy who gets embroiled in various pastry related cases. Sausage Roll Finger is the unfinished sequel.

I'm always interested in swapping reads, I'm no literary critic, but I read a lot of crime and thriller novels.


Thanks to Bradley wind for the covers.

Spies, lies and pies

Charlie Chuck

A mix-up leaves Secret Agent Barry Frond searching for a pie.


The real life of a secret agent is never like the books or films. The endless waiting around, the mundane tasks that need completing. However, even the world’s most forgettable spy can have his day.

Eczema-suffering secret agent, Barry Frond, thinks life has changed for the better when he’s given a new assignment. However, a mix up at a pie stall leaves the wrong man holding the pastry.

Five misfits become drawn into the action as Barry searches the streets of Basingstoke looking for the new owner of the pie. Throughout his journey, all leads point to the mysterious Free-Cutters, an eccentric offshoot of the Freemasons.

Life for Barry will never be the same again. But what does connect the Association of Free-Cutters with pies? Why do spies play Crazy Golf? And, does everything really stop for a cup of tea?

A fast-paced mish-mash of an adventure filled with comedy, intrigue, failure, espionage, love and pies.



Book cover is by Bradley Wind.

Andrew I don't read that much in the way of historical fiction, but I found myself enjoying this. It's very well written and I'm sure you'll find success with it. I'll stick it on my shelf. Good luck. Charlie view book

You said if I liked Welsh I'd like it, and you were right. Very decriptive writing, but at the same time easy to read. If I had time I'd read more, but all I can do is wish you luck with it and stick it on my shelf. Not sure the prologue is needed, but prologues are either loved or hated. Good luck.... view book

Though I don't tend to read llterary fiction, I do like this style. Extremely tight and well written too. The half a victim did intrigue me and I now understand it. That's a good catch for a reader, one of the best I've seen in a long time. Lost my track a bit at the lift and coffee and lift and cof... view book

Nick I read to chapter 6. I'm not sure if you need the first chapter, to me it seemed redundant. Good build up of tension in the first chapter. It captures the dark and moody Victorian London setting perfectly. I struggled to read the font in autho chap 3, probably just my poor eyesight or dodgy sc... view book

Green I don't read much poetry, but I enjoyed this. Very good imagery and great use of words. I think my favourite was addiction. Good luck with this, I'll try and find some shelf space one day. Starred for now. Charlie view book
