There are many different phases and wonderful glories to life. We tell the story of two young ladies approaching womanhood - with all its needs and desires. Four men pursuing them - but who will they choose or will they be chosen? In an age of mobile phones and electronic gadgetry, the two car family, modern kitchens with televisions and labour saving devices it is difficult to remember an age when a wrist watch was a luxury. And yet in the mid fifties, there was a high purchase tax on luxury goods and watches were in that group which of course helped profit margins on the black market. When there is a shortage, the simple law of supply and demand comes into force. Items that are in short supply soon become expensive, which of course leaves the door open for the unscrupulous to earn an easy 'few bob'. The well organized crime syndicates, people who take advantage of these situations to make a lot of money and of course their ladies who help them will go to any lengths to protect their interest and to stay ahead of the law. This novel starts with an operation of such an organization and will take you into the world of people with different attitudes to life. So we begin our story...

Dear Reader, It has always fascinated me when two people see each other for the first time and immediately know they are going to be close friends - and yet, it also works the other way when two strangers can take an immediate dislike to one another and be instant enemies. How this chemistry in all of us comes about I do not know? However what happens when new relationships conflict with the old? What happens when a bad attitude turns to irrational behavior? This is a story about such events. The beauty of a loving illicit relationship, the hate generated by jealousy, the flippant viewpoint of an escapee - all these perceptions come together to make a stunning thrilling stor

'Reign of Terror' 1940

'Reign of Terror' 1940

This is a factual account of the second world war both from a historical point of view and from the authors own memories. From evacuation and how children were chosen by their adoptive families to descriptions of how things were at the time. things such as cars not even having heaters- something unimaginable today. The hardships of the times and how community spirit won though. This was an easy way of learning of a time long gone and I think this would be enjoyed by the older generation who remember this and maybe those interested in a factual read with little embellishment. This is a serious subject however I felt the book could perhaps have been lifted a little by having some humorous anecdotes as I am sure they happened. There are the personal stories but nothing that raises a smile which then puts the serious things more into perspective and makes for a more interesting account, other than one very short anecdote from Norman Collier. It is lovely to see some pictures and posters of the time and would be interesting to see some of the adverts to again to bring home the reality. That said it is well thought out and a fairly short easy read (146 pages). A book of memories of a time some of us cannot begin to imagine what went on and as time goes on there are less and less first hand experiences to be told so getting them down on paper is a valuable resource. A book of reminiscence intermingled with the facts.

Death for a Starter

Death for a Starter

There are many ways of writing a story and I am certain all Authors write differently. Some plan the whole narrative before writing, other sketch the beginning, middle and end before putting pen to paper. I know one who has the beginning and the end but not the middle. I don't like either way, I think the story reads more natural when it takes on its own meaning and develops as one writes. And so it was with 'Death for a Starter.' The original idea was a detective story set in the eighteen hundreds during one of the periods in Ireland when the potato crop had failed and families were dealing with real famine. It came close to the original thought but it is more thrilling than that. We were delighted when it went on to win 'Best Historical Fiction' at the Pinnacle Awards. It was also the beginning of a trilogy as after its completion I went on to conclude the chronicle of the family in 'The Dauntless Factor' and finally 'The Cormacks' taking their history from the mid eighteen hundreds to the nineteen twenties.
