H1 When hell is the favourable option
The first of a gripping, fast-paced series of six thrillers.
James James (H), the product of a marriage between a brutal father and an unseeing, uncaring mother, realises that to be safe in this world, you have to be in control of your own destiny. So, aged fifteen, he takes a step to stop the cruelty and, unknowingly, provides himself with a template for life….
Things get better. He works hard and builds a business; taking a risk, he invites the beautiful Benshima, who has her own secrets, into his life.
H2 – Make your choice…now
Wide Eyes……on the back seat of the car. H’s empire grows with a little help; but not from the Bank. H needs a new assistant. Someone takes a dislike to Benny – not a good idea. The Controller controls, sort of. Marco knows he’s good at poker. It gets hot at The Setting Sun. Meet Dennis; again, not a good idea. Mr White has black moods.
“Shockingly real……”
H3 Sorry…wrong choice
The Angel of Death is out there. Meet Bob and Pat (better if you don’t). I’ve heard about some invisible paintings. Susie wants a Richard Gere. You can’t get meat fresher than this…. A good way to put right a sore throat. A bad night for England. Randy wants a deal.
“At times horrific but utterly compelling…..”
H4 Bye
King Bongo Bongo rules. There are better ways of making money than carpentry. Cocaine is….morish. Lillian; what a cat-astrophe. Johnny Harris; famous, but for how long? Something nice to have on your lap while driving (If you are a man). Big Eddie is called that for several reasons. Ian Patrick loves all (rich) women….
“Not my usual cup of tea. Disturbing, but you have no option but to read them…..no option at all”
H5 I thought you’d gone….
Shit! Monday, Tuesday….. Do dah do dah day…. Sandler is bowled out. Andy’s mom reveals her secret. Rafic; the man in the middle. Hello, I’m Trevor Howard; and no, I’m not dead. Bookies don’t always win. It’s warm in here…..? It’s not easy being a professional poker player….
“Compulsive, action packed reading, written in such a way as to make it difficult to put the books down. Expect the Unexpected!”
H6 Well…as you’re here
Lessons in healthy eating. Dear Diary.. Get religion with Pope Julius III. Beatrice wants to talk to you; yes you…. The delightful Brown family. Automatic gearbox? Who is Ehwun, the lady who mumbles…? Geoff has a really bad attitude. Meet KK; really!
“Probably the best novels I’ve ever read. Excellent plot and vivid characters. A must read”
OTHER BOOKS
Just Words
Like H and Tiger, Just Words, a collection of poems, is an emotional roller coaster.
From the beautiful ‘Kiss’ to the soul searching ‘The Beast’. Perhaps ‘Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel’ about power, or ‘The Beach’ written on holiday in Barbados.
Plus the adventures (in your imagination) of Meeky and Meegle.
And several short stories.
Tiger
Tiger, born into a circus in Africa and a lifetime of misery, has nothing to look forward to except tomorrow’s pain. And then one night, in the audience, a little girl looks into his eyes…..and the world changes forever
A thought-provoking book that will tear at your soul and, ultimately, offer you a solution that you may not be able to accept…….
‘An incredibly moving story’
Mandy
‘Mandy’. A disturbing look behind the respectable façade of people whose needs, wants and fears, bring them together and the effect it has on a child…..
Malevolence
Malevolence is a series of child-like drawings depicting memories from long ago.
The book is not currently available to download.
SCRIPTS
The Golf Club
Revered Chairman, respected Captain, intelligent Committees, easy going Members……
Just a typical Golf Club.
Through a child’s eyes
The play follows the life of an abused child, from birth until he is fifteen years of age
Tiger
In my usual inimitable way, I decided to write a Tiger Film Script as an addition to the Tiger book. This worked on the assumption that if an Agent wanted the book, they would certainly want a script to sell to Hollywood to go with it.
Of course, first you need an Agent to want the book…..
H – The Ultimate Betrayal
When I finished writing the H books I had a wonderful idea. If I wrote a film script and sold it, then the books would sell in vast numbers. Vice versa if the books sold in vast numbers, then I could sell the film script. Perhaps you noticed the flaw in my grand plan? It bordered on fantasy. How the hell do you write a film script? Especially for me as I don’t ‘see’ things. I have no idea how to describe the interior of a room for example. Not a clue. But I can put people in that room and give you a good story.
CARTOONS
Cartoons
I had to come up with a format that didn’t change, but it allowed the words to. And so….
The Sutton Hill Psychiatric Institute was born.
People are sent there for all manner of reasons by their friends, work colleagues, family and, if necessary, humanity, because of concern for their well-being.
