about me

Software engineer retired early after a mountaineering accident. Started writing poetry as an aid to recovery, self published a series of poems but never distibuted.
My book is a fantasy novel. Now undergoing a major rewrite.
My writing is on here, not for praise, but for review and advice for that is the way to improvement. Whilst praise is pleasant and good for the ego, criticism that is warrented and well considered, and acted upon is good for the writing.

favourite books

A Window in Space

Johan Hoape

Join the adventure! New worlds, strange beings, love and mystery! Mythological gods and historical figures help to restore a Prince to his throne.


'I need all three of you to come back into space. To fly an alien space ship to another part of the Galaxy; and to restore a Prince to his Throne.' 'And can we assume that that will happen when he wakes Sleeping Beauty with a kiss?' said Tess with a chuckle. With the crew in Deep Sleep, and the ship headed into a star, Octavia has problems. A fascinating story of hope, love and a whole planet regressing into the age of steam and sail. The enigmatical Mr. Brown has to call upon mythological 'gods' and historical figures to help solve the numerous problems faced. We join real people working their ways through troubled times. Will his help be enough?

I have not done this to be critical but do the same for any review. - I spend hours going over my own work, sentence by sent... view book

Hi Suzy, it has taken me some time to comment having read the first few chapters. It has taken me time to be able to think about the story you are telling. Your writing is so simple yet compelling - a wonderful combination for such a life story. I am afraid that I am too sensitive to be able to r... view book

Firstly a couple of paragraphs near the end of Chapter 4 need editing. There you have '...more thicker...' '...as if to take her bearings as to where they were...' and '...too thick in places to even walk through.' Secondly you are telling the story instead of showing it. Maybe that is right ... view book
