Welcome to my website

 Welcome to my website folks. Please feel free to poke around.

I have newsappearance dates, info about the books I’ve written, links to articles, interviews and podcasts.

There’s even interactive maps of the village of Wychwell and a tongue in cheek guide to the Yorkshire Coast.  And do call back often as I often hold competitions and pass on any book bargains I find.

If you want to know a little more about what I write, please check on the book page. At the top of every individual book page are the links which will take you straight to Waterstones, Amazon, Independent bookshops etc.

And do sign up for my newsletter – It comes out (usually) on the first of the month and is very short and chatty (actually that’s a lie, I ramble on and on and on).  I shouldn’t say this but… it is very easy to unsubscribe if you change your mind!

My new novel Let the Bells Ring Out came out in October 2025 in hardback and the paperback will be out October 2026. Do check out my ‘Bungle Book’ which is full of Daily Trumpet mistakes and written to be a proper cheer up.
