Yearning Blue is the colour of distant hills. It's the colour of imagination.
It's also a line from one of my poems - 'The View from the Hilltop' - which, as near as I can, sums up who I am and why I write.
On this site you can find out (if you wish!) more about me, and more about my writing and publications, along with some samples of my work. You can also read my Blog, 'The Reality Escape Committee'.
I'm very pleased to be able to announce that Lion Hudson will be publishing the third book in the 'Local' series - 'LOCAL LEGEND'. It's a story of friendship, corruption and football - with what I hope will be some surprising twists! No publication date as yet, but we're looking at November 2019. Look out for the cover - see below! Meanwhile, work has started on Local #4 (working title is 'Local Killer').
'LOCAL ARTIST' was published Friday 17th November 2017. The second book in the series published by Lion Hudson, it takes some of the minor characters from 'Local Poet' and follows their story: a story of two murders, thirty years apart, and the painting that links them.
Ask for it at your favourite bookshop - if they haven't got it, they should be able to get it for you! Or if not, you can order direct from Lion Hudson, or from Amazon for paperback and Kindle editions.
And of course, if you haven't yet read the first of the series, 'LOCAL POET', that's still available!
For a dark and edgy look at crime from a British CSI's point of view, try my earlier novel, 'Can of Worms'. For a taster, take a look at this video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLGlxegJWqs
