TWO DOWN WILL BE EXHIBITED AT BEA (Book Expo America) LATER THIS MONTH.

I've been writing all sorts of stuff - poems, songs, newspaper reviews, translations and academic pieces — for many years, but only ever played around with full-length novels for my own amusement, never thinking I'd get anywhere. Now — magically! — that I've been published, I'm both excited and slightly confused.
Nonetheless, if some of the fun I've had writing the books can be shared with readers, I'd be happy. Although they are generally speaking in the Suspense/Thriller genre, they break the rules a bit, so that I can hopefully raise a few laughs along the way. I guess my main teaching field of Postmodernist Fiction will have had something to do with that. Some of the travelling I've done has also come in handy for background colour.
Welcome to my world — as Jim Reeves used to sing!
— FOR THE LOVE OF A WOMAN IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD FROM Wings ePress, FROM Barnes & Noble, AND FROM Amazon.
ALSO AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK FROM Amazon AND Wings ePress.
