I have been writing professionally since 1996. Brief notes on my background can be
found here.
Many of my published articles that appear on these pages (see Site Map -
‘An Echo from the Green Fields’ which can be downloaded from Amazon.co.uk. Or from Amazon.com for US$0.99
Christopher Marlowe -
This is an essay written in 1997 for the Calvin and Rose Hoffman Prize awarded to a work that helps to sustain the theory that the Shakespeare canon was the work of Christopher Marlowe. I accept the view that Marlowe was not murdered in a Deptford tavern but lived in exile and continued to write the plays accredited to Shakespeare which contain clues throughout that point to his authorship.

Just published with Smashwords and on Amazon for the Kindle is my latest mystery novel: The Man in Black. There are aliens, a bit of dark humour and council corruption thrown in for good measure.
The Man in Black -
A man is found dead on waste land. DI Steve Winwood wants to find the man in black that had visited him just before his death. Reporter Tony Meehan is covering a corrupt planning application. When undergoing regressive hypnosis Roger Chapman discovers he was abducted by aliens. Tony and his Doctor girlfriend are threatened by a man in black who insists they stop their investigations.

I have three other novels currently available which form the Fordhamton Trilogy.
A Little Local Affair - US$2.99
Of one thing DI Steve Harley was sure, no one in the town of Fordhamton liked Alan Price. On the other hand no one hated him enough to want him dead. But someone had arranged for Alan Price to meet with a fatal accident and no one in town seems pleased that he is dead. For full synopsis, sample pages and to purchase.

In the second of the Fordhamton trilogy the reading of Arthur Brown’s will threatens to expose the secret lives of some of the town’s most respected citizens. The arrival in town of Tim Rose, continuously thwarted in his attempts to complete a company initiative course, adds to confusion and intrigue.

The Last Resort -
In the final part of the trilogy Lynne Anderson is murdered at the dress rehearsal of the school play. Her death is believed to have been caused by a slow acting poison. DI Miles Davis heads the investigation and soon finds that she was an American Intelligence officer. The motive is as obscure and the list of suspects increases.
