about me

I'm a 59 year old retired Analytical Chemist.
I now am to busy to go to work being a volunteer for the RSPB at Rainham Marshes in Essex. I also do odd jobs for my neighbours and for those in the sheltered complex next door. I've just become a Block Liaison Rep (unpaid) for the council and the reps Chairman. I'm now so busy I haven't time to go to work.
I am married to Carol who I met in Austria and next September we celebrate our thirty ninth anniversary.
We have a sort of adopted daughter down in Southend who is the mother to our three God children.
I like all sorts of music ranging from Classical via heavy metal to Rumer and Duffy. One of my favorites is Kate Bush.

favourite books

The Eternal Champion series by Michael Moorcock, any thing by Issac Asimov and Terry Pratchet. I'm a 1940 DC comic fan so I collect the reprint of their seminal heros the Justice Society.
I also read crime books of Inspector Frost, Inspector Wexford and Poirot.
Yes alright I admit it I'm a Doctor Who fan. Now stop turning the thumb screws.
Sadly I'm a dislextic writer so look beyond the odd spelling mistakes and judge me on the story beyond.

Bard's Tale

Silverback

Owen, Bard of Dyffid, must survive the rising chaos of supernatural forces on his travels with pilgrims and entertainers, sharing their battles and lives.


Is it pure coincidence when people meet or are they just playing pieces in the games of the gods? Bard and Skald of the Oak Isle of Dyfidd, Owen Dorr, finds himself sharing the lives and battles of a motley crew of Pilgrims, Sell Swords and Entertainers on their journey southeast.

But Chaos is rising as the fearful armies of Heavan and Hell take to the field of battle. Owen must solve the mystery of why they have entered the world, and find and expose the traitor, the liar and the agent of a higher spiritual power in their midst if they are to have any chance of surviving.

 

Druid's tale

Silverback

Another new look at Science Fantasy from the author of Bard's Tale as his sister is taken to look for a husband.


Owen Dorrs lesbian sister Serin is taken by her five teaching friends from the valley school on an field trip to celebrate her nineteenth birthday and to find her a husband but an adventure unfolds that takes them from pastich to pure unadulterated terror that will require all their combined skills to survive.
Serin and her lesbian lover Horren find their relationship push to the limit as quite literally the pressure increases.
From thunderstorm lashed inns and dark corridors with cursed chests never to be opened to dungeons and labarinths not to be entered alone they descend deep under the earth to find the perpetrator of the deadly traps and monsters that stand in their way.
Now read on!

 

Assassin's Tale

Silverback

A Halfling Assassin, Dannia, and recuperating Halfling 'Angel' fight for survival. One in a debauched city the other in a labour camp.


Perry is Dannia's type of town. Dannia is a halfling but she is also the greatest and most amoral thief and assassin the city has ever known. But after killing the Headmistress of a vicious all girl Temple school she has to defend herself from the only other freelance Assassin, 'Nocturne'.
Can she solve the identity of 'Nocturne' in time and find out her connection to the school.

La Mer is a quite quaint fishing town on the inlet sea. An ideal place for the little halfling girl Angelica, 'Angel', to recooperate from illness you may think but when the puritanical warriors of the mountain kindoms attack she swiftly learns there is no time for weakness.
She, along with the other women of the town, is thrown into a brutal labour camp to work until she dies. Can she escape? Can she use their guards weakness against her? And most of all can she cope with falling in love with a dashing Lieutenant of the guards and a young woman sharing her hut?
The stories are linked but how?
Now read on.

This is an excellent book. I have to admit that reading this has been one of my secret pleasures. I can offer any critic of it simple because I became so absorbed in it I missed any spelling or grammar errors. I have taken the liberty of plugging it along with some other on a blog on the forum call... view book

Hi I found the prologue a little to sticcato for my taste it could do with a little more work on the chase, not much just a little to make it flow better. The first chapter was good but could do with a little less dressing and a bit more threat though the development of the different boys attitude... view book

I liked the start with the prolog but there were a few repetitions which will be ironed out at the editing stage. I like the idea of the old man watching the volcano erupting and his thoughts of his dear departed wife. It gave him a depth and a rounded character. The second chapter with the nightm... view book

Alas I did write it myself so all the spelling errors and bad grammer are down to me. Unfortunately I'm Dyslexic, I can read very well but I can't write that well, mind you as a scientist, ex analytical chemist, that could be thought of as a bonus. I'm glad you like the book and I can assure you ... view book
