about me

GOD OF THE COCOA....A new plot - set in a quiet, mainly Indian village in Trinidad which is full of tradition, hard work and devoted people. It looks like everything is running smoothly, but below the surface is brewing a torrent that will cause huge upheaval. There is a growing clash between old values, and modern needs. And the young are not all as obedient as they are expected to be.

DEEP IN THE COCOA, is the second in the trilogy, and is complete. It is undergoing it's 4th edit.

Both books are now complete.

Would love to know what you think.

WARNING - contains some Trinidad dialect, and believable characters.

Thank you so much!

I read a lot of literary, and commercial fiction. I run a book group, and I try to write most days.

Amongst other things, I have also been a lecturer in Business and Marketing, and ran my own business.

I have done a lot of research whilst writing these books, which I still do, and still find fascinating.

I am happy to read your books and comment. I don't mind you asking me. But it would be nice if you read mine first.
