Hello!
Welcome to my website. I'm a wordsmith by profession (having had a career of some 40 years in journalism and PR) and for fun, having self-published titles in a variety of genres. On this website, you can find out all about my books, (and where to buy them, hint, hint!), a bit about me and how to contact me.
Real life - and writer's block
Real life - not to mention a damn-fine dose of writer's block or - to put it more accurately, it can be truly said I've lost the plot, if, indeed, I ever really had it in the first place - has prevented me from making as much progress on The Red Herring as I had hoped.
Work is plodding along (that's plodding at much the same pace as an elderly, lame, donkey) on my "magnum 'opless'", a comedy (I use the term advisedly) novel set in a fictional place featuring a whole new cast of characters.
The only positive progress I have made in recent months is to continue to fill the pages of my second silly poem book, which IS coming along quite nicely. I am truly hoping now that The Red Herring will be published in 2026 as I doubt very much I'll have it ready for this year - got to get through the 'plot block' and then crack on.
