about me

I'm a 59 year old retired Analytical Chemist.
I now am to busy to go to work being a volunteer for the RSPB at Rainham Marshes in Essex. I also do odd jobs for my neighbours and for those in the sheltered complex next door. I've just become a Block Liaison Rep (unpaid) for the council and the reps Chairman. I'm now so busy I haven't time to go to work.
I am married to Carol who I met in Austria and next September we celebrate our thirty ninth anniversary.
We have a sort of adopted daughter down in Southend who is the mother to our three God children.
At the moment we are caring for my 91 year old Mother-in-Law and trying to spend time with my God children one of which nearly severed the tip of a finger moving the teachers piano. So my replies may be sporadic.
I like all sorts of music ranging from Classical via heavy metal to Rumer and Duffy. One of my favorites is Kate Bush.

favourite books

The Eternal Champion series by Michael Moorcock, any thing by Issac Asimov and Terry Pratchet. I'm a 1940 DC comic fan so I collect the reprint of their seminal heros the Justice Society.
I also read crime books of Inspector Frost, Inspector Wexford and Poirot.
Yes alright I admit it I'm a Doctor Who fan. Now stop turning the thumb screws.
Sadly I'm a dislextic writer so look beyond the odd spelling mistakes and judge me on the story beyond.

Paladin's Tale

Gabrielle Silverback

Sophia speaks the words of the Holy Lady but she is only eight. Is she real, mentally ill or both. Only time will tell.


Sir Tomas du Prey the future Paladin and hero had not long been born but no one was suprised as his two year old sister had predicted it.
Sophia speaks the words of The Holy Lady of Prey and splits the small town apart as both laity and church must chose if she speaks the truth.
As she and Tomas grow the pressures increase with sides claiming her Holiness and others that she is the spawn of the devil.
But can she cope as the voice in her head grows ever louder and more insistent as enemies blossom everywhere and pain seems the only way to peace.
Tomas must become the Paladin that fate decreed he should be and hunt down her enemies and bring her justice.
But to do that he must enter the halls of Heaven and Hell with his trusted friends, the trainee Paladins at his side.
But is he just a Knight in someone else's game!!

Assassin's Tale

Silverback

A Halfling Assassin, Dannia, and recuperating Halfling 'Angel' fight for survival. One in a debauched city the other in a labour camp.


Perry is Dannia's type of town. Dannia is a halfling but she is also the greatest and most amoral thief and assassin the city has ever known. But after killing the Headmistress of a vicious all girl Temple school she has to defend herself from the only other freelance Assassin, 'Nocturne'.
Can she solve the identity of 'Nocturne' in time and find out her connection to the school.

La Mer is a quite quaint fishing town on the inlet sea. An ideal place for the little halfling girl Angelica, 'Angel', to recooperate from illness you may think but when the puritanical warriors of the mountain kindoms attack she swiftly learns there is no time for weakness.
She, along with the other women of the town, is thrown into a brutal labour camp to work until she dies. Can she escape? Can she use their guards weakness against her? And most of all can she cope with falling in love with a dashing Lieutenant of the guards and a young woman sharing her hut?
The stories are linked but how?
Now read on.

 

Bard's Tale

Owen, Bard of Dyffid, must survive the rising chaos of supernatural forces on his travels with pilgrims and entertainers, sharing their battles and lives.

But Chaos is rising as the fearful armies of Heaven and Hell take to the field of battle.

I know this book has reached the editors table and I sincerly hope it gets published. These types of books are not my style story but this was an amazingly well written work. Normally I only read the first three chapers of the work I review which is enough for me to get an idea of the book and the... view book

At last I have had time to read this witty book and I have to say I actually enjoyed it. I must admit I expected something on the lines of Terry Pratchet but was pleasantly suprised to find it was totally original. I can't comment on punctuation and spelling errors as I am pretty poor myself. Co... view book

If anything this story shows a maturing of your style to match the maturing of your central character 'The Saahni' Kay'tan. I am just as envious as I was with Priest's tale over your ability to write first person prose. A skill I have never mastered. The prologue was excellent and led well in to th... view book
