My nan was a great reader, especially of Agatha Christie. To please her, I wrote a short Whodunit, bashing it out on my brother's Olivetti typewriter. I stitched it together and waited nervously for her to read it. She did and, more importantly, she couldn't guess who the perpetrator of the crime was! This inspired me to write more. As I avidly devoured every Agatha Christie I could get my hands on, I discovered Jack Higgins. This, for me, was a revelation! I wanted to write the same sort of gritty, British thrillers he did. So, I did. This was in the early 70s. In 1979, I submitted my first completed novel and, in 2009, I was fortunate to have a book accepted by a small, Indie press. I've never looked back and now have over 50 books published.

My latest book is a Western. 'Left for Dead' is the first in a series that follows the blood-soaked career of Hahmood, a stone-cold killer who stops at nothing to get what he wants. Unlike other so-called heroes, Hahmood has no conscience. He is unrelenting and deadly. He will appear in a series of 5 novels, and a further series in which he mellows somewhat and teams up with a highly moral sheriff to serve and protect the local community. I hope you enjoy his journey.
