I have been a London Taxi Driver for almost 40 years, during which time I branched out into Pub ownership, I had three. Prior to this I was a London Policeman and owner of a Mini cab business in Bermonsey, Sth London.
In November 2006 I was hit, whilst stationary, by a Van and effectively put out of work for three years, it was then that I wrote my first novel. LOOK BOTH WAYS THEN LOOK BEHIND, it was taken on by an agent but unfortunately not taken on by a publisher although it never received any bad reviews. One actually said. We like the story and like the setting, but find it too commercial for our readers. I thought of giving up but a new story just jumped into my head, so I wrote it.
THE DESOLATE GARDEN was published on the 19 March 2012. it tells the story of a Private Bank that, unbeknown to most in the British SIS, funded a Russian in his work for the West. In the quest to discover the murderer of his father, Lord Eliot Paterson and his youngest brother Edward, Harry teams up with a beautiful enigmatic woman from the Foreign Office and together they set about to unravel the deeply hidden secrets that many wish were left undisturbed.

I suffer from intermittent attacks of sciatica and as I grow older they seem to be getting worse. Want to know when it all went wrong for my once broad strong back?
There was a man lovingly tending his garden one day when a passerby stopped and admired his craft. The stranger stopped and glanced, then finding a need to comment, lingered and lent against the wall propping himself up by stretching out a hand onto the rotting gate post.
I’m a 62 year old, second time round married man, who almost twenty years ago inherited a ready made family of two children, one of each gender. They were young teenagers who, like most of their age, thought they knew it all until they met me who DID know it all. We all survived, they sh
Opposite my home and rising high into the sky behind the few house that separated us was Bostall Woods, the best playground and adventure park a child my age could wish for.There was everything that Winn’s Common had and more. Huge oak trees with inviting climbable branches under which lay cen
The first thing that happened after the crash of glass was the sound of a gasp from my startled Mum and her words of “my God what have you done.” I too wondered and then instantaneously realized that perhaps as a punishment for my lack of awareness of him, God had almost sliced of my arm
I was a forward thinking child from an early age having had my Davy Crockett hat stolen from my head at the age of five. I reasoned that the bigger you are the more likely you are to get away with things like that. Unfortunately I was no great size, so I reasoned, not unnaturally in my view, that I
