about me

Now under contract with Taylor Street Books!

As a child I always made up stories, writing them down from time to time. In my late teens I convinced myself that "Grown-Ups" didn't do that, so I shut off the creative side to concentrate on the real world. Having come to the conclusion that this was pretty stupid, I have finally allowed my mind to wander once more and found myself working on an old idea that is now my first complete novel, and is book one of a trilogy.

The idea has been around for a number of years, but became the first full draft of a novel early last year when I was unemployed.

In the real world I am now an acute project manager for the NHS in England, and my available time is mostly restricted to late evenings and weekends, but I promise to participate as much as I can.

I admit to being a novice, and all constructive advice and criticism welcome!


A quote from last year really caught my attention, because it is true:

"No story lives, unless somebody wants to listen" J K Rowling. July 2011

Too many to mention here - classics, mind-numbing, modern, fantasy, thriller - if it is written well and grabs my attention, then I will read it.

Worlds Apart: Leah

Rose Wall

Worlds Apart - Leah was published by Taylor Street Books on October 11th 2012.

It is available in ebook and paperback from Amazon.


Nightmares are just dreams, aren’t they? They cannot hurt you.

Or can they?

Leah’s nightmares are trying to tell her something, something her mind is refusing to let her see.

At nineteen, Leah is still mourning the death of her mother five years earlier. Her Father decides to move them both for a fresh start. But Leah is plagued with terrifying nightmares, that seem to spill into her waking hours, and somehow bring her comfort as well as fear.

One morning, Leah sets off up to the Castle, settling down in her favourite spot, she dozes off in the sunshine, and for the first time experiences a nightmare outside the safety of her home. Disorientated from being awoken mid-dream, she instinctively distrusts the handsome young stranger, Ben, who had awoken her from her dream.

A motorcycle skids in the rain, crashing into Leah and sending her flying into a wall. Mysterious conversations, strange creatures and violent storms rage as she attempts to piece together the jigsaw of facts. When complete, it will take her to unimaginable places as she searches for her true identity.

I've read as far a Chapter 6 Kate, but for some reason autho will not let me read chapter seven, saying there is an error loading the text (I've tried on two different machines just in case), so I've been unable to go further. I will however return. This is a lovely book, well written, with just... view book

Sharda, Finally returning the read swap as promised. I've read this book from start to finish, and I have to say the story is lovely, and is very readable, making it ideal for the children's market.

Chapter Two, I like the pace much better here - and the descriptions are just enough to feed the imagination, without overpowering the story. A couple of typos I spotted - watch where it should be watched (third para from end) and contempt where it should be content (same section), Only oth... view book

Hello Jules, I promised a while ago that I would read and comment on The Color of Red, and I have finally got to you on my watchlist. This is only my personal opinion, feel free to ignore it as I am by no means an expert, just a reader giving my viewpoint. Unfortunately as I write, you appear... view book
