BOOKS
I have been writing ever since I could hold a crayon and over the years have written ten books. I am very bad at marketing and although I sporadically tried sending off their manuscripts, I failed to get anything published until…
… Sparsile Books came along. I am delighted to announce that they have published three of my books and, rather self-consciously, I will start this Writing section by showcasing them first. Click on any book for more details.
Published books
Kindred Spirit didn’t get a book launch, as it was published during Covid. Three Into One Does Go did, up in Glasgow, to a turnout of about 50 people. And As They Grow Older was launched, appropriately enough, on Halloween 2025, in Ayr Waterstones.
The Within Trilogy
The Within Trilogy consists of Search for the Sage and its sequel Tunnel at World's End (fantasy stories written for children of about five to eight years old), and the adult or young-adult continuation The Key.
Other books
I have omitted the first book I wrote, Halcyon Days, from here, as only old university friends would understand it. I never got around to making a paperback version of The Supernatural Experiment; and I only finished writing Then and Now a couple of months ago.
I will freely admit that I think all four of these ‘other’ books are good enough to be published. True, Love on the Line is erotic, Dead Scared is horror, and The Supernatural Experiment is not easy typographically. But Then and Now is pretty straightforward easy reading. So please keep your fingers crossed!
