Hello from the Isle of Wight, in Southern England, where I am now living. This area has a proud literary tradition. Alfred, Lord Tennyson, poet laureate and author of the famous poem The Charge of the Light Brigade lived here. If I walk down the road from my house, I can see his monument on Tennyson Down, high above the Needles.

The revised and updated version of The Eighth Child has now been published on Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com and through Draft2Digital on Apple, Barnes and Noble (Nook), Kobo and Tolino. This free version is proving popular.

This will be followed in the next few days by The Secret of the Cathars. I have commissioned a new cover in the same style as The Eighth Child but unfortunately this cannot be ready until January, so I will have to use the existing cover until the new one is completed.

The next title in the AMR Series, which I am hoping to republish in late October will be Dancing with Spies. This is the only novel in the series which I have so far written from a woman´s viewpoint. I was helped a lot when I was writing this by my wife who sadly died in 2014. I hope I was able to capture the woman´s thinking and feelings without losing the strength of character that I was aiming for in the heroine, Caroline. I would be interested to receive any helpful comments from my readers.
