I am the author of three novels. It is with a big smile on my face that I can report that A Cleansing of Souls and Tollesbury Time Forever have been very well received. Of course I am hoping the same reception awaits The Bird That Nobody Sees which was released in July 2012!
In this blog I post my thoughts on writing, reviews of books I have read, along with updates and information on my published works. Cheers for stopping by!
I was born in the Summer of 1969 in Dagenham, just on the border of East London.
School was largely unproductive but enjoyable, setting me up for something of a wayward but interesting life! On leaving school I had various jobs including putting up stalls at Romford Market, working in a record shop, putting up ceilings, gardening and road sweeping. After resigning from an insurance company to play in a band, I found myself unemployed for two years. Then finally I got back on my feet and I've been a psychiatric nurse since 1997. I wrote A Cleansing of Souls when I was 22 years old and followed it up with Tollesbury Time Forever almost twenty years later. I started writing The Bird That Nobody Sees in September 2011 and it was released in July 2012.
In terms of writing, my heroes are Jack Kerouac and John Steinbeck. I would also include Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits as literary influences.
So that's me I guess - scruffy, happy and in love with literary fiction, music and life...
The proposed new cover for Tollesbury Time Forever!
Although I love the current cover, I think it would be more effective as a paperback cover as it does not really grab you in the Kindle format. So here is the proposed new cover - please let me know what you think!
That is a fine idea!! Will see what I can do! I must say I like this new one and as Liam said, with different lettering it could work - it wouldn't certainly attract me more than the existing one but then I think the existing one is a little classier. Might just give it a go for a week and see what happens!

It's appropriate to the story and intriguing....
However, I've just had a brilliant idea. Some scrabble letters scattered on a table. I bet you can guess what those letters are!
