About Me

Thank you for the opportunity to talk to you about my writing interests. I began writing at the age of 15, with a fishing diary, that became a page-a-day effort after the season closed. I've maintained it ever since (now on my 32nd). So far, on this long, hard journey, I've written 1 non fiction title called GREENOCK REVISITED (ebook, downloadable from www.greenockrevisited.co.uk), and 2 novels: VALENTINO'S REDRESS, and THE TREASURES OF DRUMORY - the latter work took over 25 years to complete (conventional life kept getting in the way...). I also have 1 unfinished novel: THE FIDELITY SAGA, which is 15 years in. During my research for this work, I realised I had enough material to write a non fiction title, which became the above mentioned, GREENOCK REVISITED. However, I took the decision to suspend work on FIDELITY in 2006, in order to complete DRUMORY. The reason I did this, was because I wanted my children to read the complete saga whilst they were still children. That turned out to the be the best decision I ever made. Recently, I launched a dedicated website for both THE TREASURES OF DRUMORY and VALENTINO'S REDRESS (www.thetreasuresofdrumory.com & www.valentinosredress.com respectively). Each site includes a section with sample chapters for you to read prior to purchase. I'm particulary proud of the DRUMORY site since it includes deveopment slides of my MAP and FRONT COVER DESIGNS. These novels are now available to download from Amazon in Kindle ebook formats and I'm delighted to say, both are selling in different parts of the world. If you would prefer Paperback editions, then please search for them on Amazon around Christmas 2011, as I'm still involved in the preparation stages. Personally, I think The Treasures of Drumory is going to be regarded as one of the best adventure stories ever told - sorry, but it just is. I appreciate many readers will still prefer Valentino's Redress, simply because they prefer romantic comedy to fantasy adventure. I'm okay with that, since it's all money in the same bank account... Please don't be alarmed by the fact I took a quarter of a century to complete Drumory - the book just would not be rushed. By comparison, I had a first draft of Valentino's Redress on the table within 48 hours, though I've reworked it many times since its creation in 2001. Away from writing, I'm also in the process of finishing a unique WRITER's website, which again, should be available from Christmas 2011. It'll be a subscription based service designed to improve one's command of English Vocabulary in a dramatic new way. How can I be so sure it will work? Because I as a Writer, was crying out for this kind of service and no one else was - or is, offering anything like it. So keep checking the following website for details www.wordutopia.com. If successful, any accrued revenues will fund a wealth of other projects I have planned. All I need is a bit of luck. Everyone needs luck, no matter how good they think their work is. In conclusion, I'd say to anyone consdering buying my work: Go for it! Every project I undertake is worthwhile and blessed with quality. How else would I take so long to bring them to fruition? Still not convinced I have that special something? Witness my painting efforts on the Valentino's Redress website. FOUR efforts over 25 years, that's right TWENTY FIVE YEARS to produce 4 paintings! (what can I say? I hate painting). Enough said. The End.
