about me

BREATH OF AFRICA is now PUBLISHED (March 15th) - by Crooked Cat!!
And it seems to be taking Amazon by (a tiny) storm....

Havent taken a breath since, and I'm exhausted.

Meanwhile my new book is taking a temporary back seat. Am looking for considered comments only and have no designs on the ED (once is enough!). But I will of course return all reads - in time.

I will also continue to moderate the Hist.Fict. Readers Group.

favourite books

Books I have read / dipped in over and over, include the Bible, The Complete works of Shelley, and The First Circle by Alexander Solzhenitskin.
Favourite authors are Nicholas Monserrat, Morris West and John le Carre.

I have read and re-read:
Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea
Jim Stovall's The Ultimate Gift
Kahled Hosseini's The Kite Runner
Sebastian Faulks' Birdsong
Frederick Forsyth's Day of the Jackall
Wilbur Smith's River God
Ian McEwan's Enduring Love

And The Life of Pi by Yann Martel made me laugh until my sides ached.

I Don't Want to Be Here

Jane Bwye

A cry from the heart of a carer, and how she tried to deal with her situation


Ann is stuck with an ailing husband in a place where she never wanted to be.

She grapples with her conscience and sense of duty. She tries to break free and live her own life, and thinks she's found fulfilment when she meets the crippled Arthur, who at least shows his appreciation for her company. But her problems are compounded, and her heart is torn in two. Her family has always been her life, but what is she to them?

God seems to be so very far away, but her prayers do get answered. Not, however, in ways that Ann might have expected.

Serpentine. I cant remember how your book came to be on my watch list, but I am immediately drawn in with your comfortable style of writing. Ch.1. Do you want nits? Perhaps if you did a search on "the monk" and "the boy", you might want to vary the way you refer to them. I can imagine the scene s... view book

The Popish Plot. A Hist.Fict. read. A stunning Prologue - but wouldnt it read stronger if you deleted the words "suddenly and unreservedly" from the third paragraph? And a striking description of Titus's face at the start of Ch.2. But might that bit about the Rev's profligacy be a little out of pl... view book

Mighty Fine. Sounds a fun read - your pitches hit the spot nicely. Ch.1. Do you mind nits? I'm afraid I notice them, and they distract me from the story. I take notes as I read, but dont pretend to be an expert. It's always (1) good to refine and refine one's writing. Search and cut out unnece... view book

Never play Chicken... I like your opening bit about what kind of mettle we're made of. But I was a little taken aback by the structure of the numbered points. The principles, though, make good business, and life-improving sense. Do you mind nits? I dont pretend to be an expert, and take notes as ... view book

One off Sir. Succinct, well paced writing, which hooks me into the story from the word go. The first chapters do jump about a bit, though, in time as well as place, which I found disconcerting. I think you mean Ed could arrange 'the day to suit', when talking about the PO in Ch.3. And I know it'... view book
