about me

I have worked for many years all over the world as a management consultant. Using words effectively is one of the keys to success in that profession, so writing has always been an important and enjoyable part of my life. Along the way I’ve published quite a bit of non-fiction work and done a lot of reviewing and editing for others.

However I am an avid reader of fiction, and real life has often landed me in situations that with a little imagination I felt would make a cracking novel. In the end I couldn’t resist the temptation to have a go at proving it. I'm having a lot of fun writing my books and I was delighted that the Authonomy community voted to award the first two of them a gold medal each.

Conflicts of Interest

Bob Steele

David Tyler’s profession has already cost him his marriage and his self-respect. Now a global business conspiracy could cost him his life.


In London, an accountant asks too many questions about a multi-million dollar contract. In New York, a ruthless executive conspires to take control of a global professional firm. In Moscow, criminals plot a money-laundering scam. The fallout engulfs management consultant David Tyler.

David’s job has already wrecked his marriage and destroyed his illusions. When events put his career on the line, he must choose between his principles and his ambitions.

Ditched by his girlfriend and shunned by colleagues, David wrestles with his own shortcomings and his partners’ duplicity. Alone, he finds unexpected help from his ex-wife Rosalind and her father. Together they unravel the conspiracy that entraps him. The trail leads into a business underworld where the truth is deadlier than he bargains for.

Facing torture and death, David runs for his life. His dilemma now is how to defeat his pursuers and retrieve his reputation without scandal bringing down the entire firm. His relationship with Rosalind may have another chance too, if he can avoid repeating past mistakes.

On the battlefield of life, he realises, there are no neat, happy endings. There are only new beginnings. And conflicts of interest.

 

SPIN

Bob Steele

Do spin-doctors control Peter Conway’s thoughts? If so, can he stop them – and how will he know whether he succeeded?


Young photographer Peter Conway wrestles with his estranged father’s collapse into madness and his fear that he has inherited the same fatal flaw. Then his father’s apparent suicide and an inner compulsion he does not fully understand drive Peter to re-examine events of the past that destroyed his family.

As he digs deeper, his father’s obsession about a shadowy organisation that controls how people think becomes all too convincing. Unsure who to trust or whether his thoughts are still his own, Peter’s nightmare of insanity seems to be coming true.

Now certain his father was murdered and he is next on the list, Peter finds help from journalist Chloe Pearson and City financier Billy Stanfield. Together they unravel a web of scientific, political and financial power masquerading as innocuous ‘spin’.

Insanity is no longer the issue – it has become a question of survival for both the hunters and the hunted.

Consequences Unforeseen is a riveting book; the opening raises intriguing questions about why Bill, a hardened assassin, is shedding tears over Lynda's death, and how and why she died, and then what made Bill start to reminisce so fluently and vividly about his youth, and how he became a killer from... view book

Aransoaks is an unusual book; I enjoyed meeting Joey and Paula alongside the flooding river, and Faulkil and Snowlight the rats displaced from their home by the rising waters. The relationships between them all are at the heart of the book, and your opening is tantalising enough to make me want to r... view book

Eternal Darkness is a vampire tale with a twist - humans are hunting them for their blood rather than the more conventional vice-versa.The first person narrative by Scarlet flows well, and I enjoyed the way you work in her backstory, including the killing of her father, unobtrusively.
