Dear Visitor,

I am delighted you have chosen to visit my website.  If you enjoy well written fiction, please linger for a while and read a couple of chapters from either of my books.

I grew up in Africa and have led an adventurous life travelling through many parts of Africa and Australia.  I am a passionate writer of novels and have completed two action/thriller novels, both shown on this website and which together took me close on six years to research.

I’m currently on my third novel, a romantic spy thriller set in Australia.  I look forward to writing many more novels set across  the Romantic Thriller / Action Thriller genres.

If you enjoy the read please leave me a rating for that chapter or particular novel or, better still, leave a comment .  I can only become a better author if I’m open to giving my readers what they want.

Over the 15 years of my writing career I have produced a number of short stories, delved into writing poetry and currently find myself an active motivational blogger :-

Driftwood Manuscript Services:

“The manuscript has a clear, well-paced and satisfying plot, with rounded, interesting characters.  It is full of suspense, which is unusually well-handled.  The reader cares strongly what will happen to the characters and turns the pages to find out….”
