What I didn’t do was update this website… or my Facebook author’s page… or…

But no worries. I’m back and the good news is that although it was difficult at first I have been writing and my Just Wheatley? novel is 99% complete and about to go out to publishers.

So Wheatley has negotiated his way through a murder or two, faced danger and the wrath of his superiors and found his beliefs challenged again and again.

I’ve been concentrating recently on a new Wheatley adventure (see ‘Just Wheatley?’) but Arthur’s Women is now entering it’s spookier part as Taliesin interrogates Gwynhwyfar’s ghost on Avalon, much to Nimue’s discomfort.

For a small taster, see the ‘Arthur’s Women’ section.

Black Friday gone and you still need a present? What better than a Brighton-set murder mystery based on a true story?

‘Young Murder?’, buy now on Amazon (or email via this website).

Go to the ‘Just Wheatley?’ page and answer these questions…

What do you THINK will happen next?

What do you WANT to happen next?

No prizes or fame – just the satisfaction of being right when you read the book!

‘Young Murder?’ is featured in this month’s issue of “The Brightonian”.

See ‘Young Murder?’ link above.

Waiting for September 1st and the publication of hundreds of new novels? Still time to read ‘…a Young Murder?’ before then.

Just click on ‘…a Young Murder?’ above.

I have been too quiet over the last couple of weeks. I seem to be getting nostalgic during the Covid-19 scenario (probably a good trait for an historical novelist) and have unearthed this poem called ‘Littlehampton…1964’, written when I was remembering being 16.

See ‘Poems4u page...

Detective Wheatley has become so popular since the publication of ‘a Young Murder’ that I have begun a new novel featuring him and many of the other characters. More information on the ‘just Wheatley’ page of this website.
