about me

I am a writer, mostly of adult mysteries but I have also written some short stories and a sci-fi book for youngsters. I live in the North West of England and I am involved with the Scouts, my local residents association and I am a school governor.
Despite this busy life, I still like to find time to write and to look after my cat, Suzy.
My background is in the field of child care, though I have been retired for some years. I still do the ofdd shift in security work, though.

Teenwars

Ron Parker

A sci-fi story for kids, with an anti-bullying theme


Aaron Ballantyne and Barry Cutler are the leaders of two rival kids' gangs, not the modern knife wielding variety, but the kind that youngsters used to naturally form themselves into.

They put aside their differences when confronted by a common enemy - not of this world.

 

The Blue-Bike Murder

Ron Parker

When Detective Inspector Tom Jackson has to investigate the murder of a youth, things are not as straightforward as they first seem.


Young Jake Swift is terrified that he is a suspect when his friend is murdered leading him to get into dangerous situations as Tom Jackson and his team try to solve the murder. WARNING While nothing is explicit, this story does contain some scenes involving child abuse. Anyone offended by stories of this nature should refrain from reading the book

 

Double Murder

Ron Parker

A Murder Mystery Thriller


Detective Inspector Tom Jackson and and his sergeant, Charles Rigby, are called in to investigate when Colin Lovell returns home to find his wife murdered and his young son missing. Jackson has more to worry about, however, than just a murder and a missing child.

Hi Ben, This is great. If it doesn't find a publisher, there's no hope for the rest of us. Unfortunately, time prevents me from reading more than the first two chapters but I will come back to it when I can to read the rest. In the two chapter I read, I found only one grammatical error.

Hi Dylan, This is a a very well written and unusual story. Unfortunately time prevented me from reading more than the first three chapter, though I will come back to it when I do have some time on my hands. In the short section of the story I read, I didn't find a single writing errror, not ev... view book

Hi Phil, This is quite an exciting story and, apart from a few typos is well written. I'm not sure, however, if I would have fully understood the first chapter had I not read your pitch first. Since the pitch is not part of the book you need to think about this. I generally don't like first... view book

Hi Jori, I'm not a woman, but as I owe you a review I thought I'd hav a look at this, anyway. It's serious stuff and while the writing is mostly good, there are a few typos, missing words and tense slips. I don't understand the need for a foreword and an introduction. Combine them if you li... view book

Hi Joseph, I've only had time to read the first chapter, but even from this I can see this is a great story. I did spot two minor writing errors, first a missing 'a' and secondly you use the phrase 'they were drug across the earth' 'drug' is a narcotic. The past tense of drag is dragged, so it sh... view book
