Hope You Had a Good Weekend

Good morning - I say good morning, but it could be a different time of the day when you pick this up. Nevertheless it is a good place to start.

It's very windy here this morning. I gather it is going to be like that for the next couple of days. Therefore we will have to batten down the hatches, as they say.

Once again, it has been very quiet here - so no exciting news for you. I can't remember the last time I had anything exciting to pass on. Apart from anything thing else, it is the time of the year when things are quiet until Halloween, and Christmas start gathering speed on the the horizon and hurry towards us.

Here in the UK, we also celebrate Bonfire Night on 5th November with fireworks to mark the time when Guy Fawkes and a group of men decided to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London. As it turned out they failed. However, their efforts have been remembered for over 300 years.

I am still working on my latest novel. As I have probably said before, it is a sequel to Murder on Tyneside. It is going rather slowly at the moment, I'm afraid. I'll really have to get my head around it. I had hoped it would be finished by now, but things don't always go according to plan.

The Trojan Project

In the meantime, The Trojan Project is on special offer until Friday. This means you can download a copy for only 99c or 99p depending on whether you are here in the UK or in the USA.

The story is set in North East England and tells how a woman and her children are forced to flee the area when a massive green light and a swirling mist devastate the hills and the valleys.

A chilling suspense thriller!

Well I think that's all for the moment, but I do hope to be back very soon.

Meanwhile have a great week wherever you are!

Cheers!!

Chink! Chink!

Death on Tyneside

Agnes Lockwood returns to Tyneside after spending a few months abroad. On her first visit, she gained quite the reputation as an amateur sleuth, as she helped the police solve a murder.

Now, she is simply looking forward to meeting again with Alan Johnson, a DCI with the Newcastle police force. Having missed him while she was away, she is hoping their relationship will continue to blossom.

But on her first day back in the city, she gets caught up in another murder. This time, her intrusion into the police investigation pushes Alan Johnson’s patience to the very limit.

Murder on Tyneside

Recently widowed Agnes Lockwood is spending a few days on Tyneside in Northeast England, keen on catching up with her past. But after only a few days at the hotel, an expensive item of jewelry is stolen.

After more jewelry goes missing, Chief Inspector Alan Johnson is assigned to the case. During the investigation, Alan recognizes Agnes as a friend from schooldays and they rekindle their friendship – with Agnes bombarding him with questions about the case.

After having dinner together one evening, they find a body lying on the roadside. Fearing for her safety, Alan warns Agnes to stay away from the case: theft is one thing, but murder is something else.

But being an inquisitive woman, Agnes can’t resist getting involved... too involved.

Only Twelve Days

This heartwarming story is set in a time when computers and mobile phones were still in their infancy.

It's almost Christmas, one of the most wonderful times of the year. Nearly everyone is eagerly looking forward to spending the festive season with their loved ones. But what about those who are facing Christmas alone?

Bill and Sally are two such people. Both are shy and lonely; left behind when the rest of the country was caught up in the changes of the swinging sixties. Will they avoid the holiday season as they usually do, and spend it alone? Or this year, just for a change, will Christmas catch up with them?

Though this story is set during the run up to Christmas, it is a tender love story to be enjoyed at any time of the year.

The Trojan Project

Sarah and her family's peaceful night is disturbed when a strange light rises from behind the Cheviot Hills, and a green mist descends across the valley. Its swirling tendrils, seeming to bear a life of their own as they snake across the land, can only be an omen of something sinister and evil.

Her fears seem confirmed when her husband fails to return home from working on the land, and when he is still missing the following morning, she and her children set out to search for him. A terrifying discovery awaits her in the valley below her home and before long, Sarah and her children find themselves caught up in a desperate search, not only for her husband Pete, but also for the meaning of the green light. Finding herself pursued by the military, she slowly begins to realize her life, and the lives of those she loves, are in mortal danger.

The Trojan Project takes us into a nightmare world where no one is quite what they seem, and trust becomes a word with little meaning. Beware the green light in the sky; you never know what it hides!
