about me

Retired IT consultant and divorced father of two, now granddad to four, living in the Torbay area, in South West of the UK.

Working on two novels (as and when my rough collie Leah will let me!), Connected Obsessions and Connected Lives, and considering a third, Connected Reflections.


* * * * * PLEASE NOTE. * * * * *

A number of 'Authonomites' have backed my book and asked for a backing in return. I'm sorry, but I won't back any book until I have read at least some of it, and I read through my w/l in the order in which I add items.

If you expect otherwise, please do not back Connected Obsessions.

Thank you.

Connected Obsessions

Neil Mavrick

How far would you go to save the woman you love?
Beyond the boundaries of science?
But what if you had never actually met her?


Rachel Starr is a wannabe actress. Ever since she realised there were such people as movie stars, she’d set her heart on joining them.

She has been in Hollywood for two years, but she is not alone. There are hundreds like her, and many face dangers from those who would entice them into the world of pornography, prostitution - or simply into bed.

The story follows the life of Rachel Starr from the age twenty-two, when we first meet her. It is a life that holds many emotions. Love and happiness certainly, but also heart-ache and sadness, and more than a hint of jealousy. A life of contrasts, too, and one that reveals an intriguing mystery along the way, culminating in a revelation the shock of which penetrated even into her soul.

Paul Lander is an enigmatic character, possessing an intimate knowledge of what the future holds for Rachel - unless he can use his three obsessions to intercede on her behalf.

Three connected obsessions.

It’s taken me almost a year to get around to reading this, for which I apologise. Having done so, I’m afraid this is not one for me. I can’t fault your imagination, but I have to confess I grew tired of the sermon in chapter one, once it eventually started, and gave up a little over half way throug... view book

Fletcher, I am struggling to get through my list of promised reads -- yours went onto the list In July of last year and I’ve only just got to it, but here goes.

Marj, In mid January I promised to have a look at Not a Man. I did warn you that it would take some time before I could do so, but I have now had a chance to look at your story. It is not really my kind of book, but it does, I think, show promise. The harrowing start is, I suppose, unavoid... view book

Miguel, Back in July of last year you kindly backed my book Connected Obsessions and I promised to have a look at Internet on the Flight to the Abyss. I did warn you that it would take some time before I could do so, but I have to admit that I did not expect it to take quite so long. My apologies... view book

Al, I promised that I’d try to take another look at Savannah Passion before the end of the month. I’ve made it, but only just! Reading the first few pages, I didn’t recognise anything at all from a previous read. I eventually re-read my original comments and noted that most of the things I’d ‘... view book
