About Me:
Well... as I expect many of you have done also; where do I start?
I'm just over 50 yrs old, and have been writing properly since 1989, although I only have four completed full length novels: ('Traitor's Net' - 'Medusa's Curse' (Supernatural-Horror/Thriller) - 'Inside Justice' (Crime) and 'The Druids' Stone' (another horror.) I realised it may appear that these stories have been published, and you're probably thinking... 'I've never heard of them! or him!' and you'd be right.. alas, not one is as yet published... but I am hoping one day 'Medusa's Curse' and 'Inside Justice' will be... perhaps... if I'm lucky!
With regard to 'Medusa's Curse' (which I wrote in 1992,) I have also written a screenplay based on this story, as I often thought, as I was working on it, that it had the potential for a real shocker of a film!
Unfortunately as with the novel/manuscript, this too is in desperate need of re-working and updating, which I hope to begin starting work on, early next year.

I also write comedy stage plays, specifically for the amateur drama market; I have 6 completed comedy plays set around Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, with several more in development. I have several other plays, some serious and controversial plots in development, and other comedies.

I'm a father of 4 grown up children, and grandfather of 2. I also roadie for a great mate, who's a solo guitarist/singer, and I'm an adopted uncle to his two young children!! woo-hoo!

I'm currently unemployed, but I sometimes help out with my local community radio station.

I have trodden the boards as a 'very' amateur actor, and had roles in 4 full length plays, two of them Shakespeare's works; 'Twelfth Night' & 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'! I also spent several years as the resident Lighting & Sound technician, rigging/designing the lighting for both amateur & professional groups.

    If you like Mark Billingham and Ian Rankin, try John Harvey if you haven't already read anything by him.

    Hi Roger!
    I'm finally back on line after two weeks of no modem. We have lots of summer storms here in Florida and lightning struck my modem. I'll try to do better about posting and staying in touch now.
