I’m really happy that I now have my book back from the publishers and now have an opportunity to republish it myself, like my other books. I plan to rename it and rewrite the story, using my own exceIlent editor Alison once again. I will use my brilliant artist Jason to design the cover. I…
While I am waiting for my new book number 5 to be ready, I am thinking about the previous four books I have published over the past ten years. I love all of my stories and I hope you like them too. My favourite book is of course the Michmash Miracles. This was my first…
I have just sent off my first draft to my editor. This for me is a very important moment. She is going to write a critique and I’m very anxious about her opinions. After 3 years of graft and 74k words I’ve no idea of the quality of my work. At least when she tells…
Do you like background music when you are working? If so, what kind of music do you like which doesn’t distract you but helps you concentrate. Does Rock, Pop or Garage relax you, or would you prefer Country. When I am writing I like to have good classical music playing – not the noise of…
We drove back to Jerusalem, and on to the road to Bethlehem. I had cycles this route twice before, but I was surprised by the huge volume of traffic and the urban sprawl, between the cities. Finally we came to that awful wall dividing people and we had to leave our taxi and find another on…

We walked up the slope, enjoying the strong smell of rosemary and a few brightly coloured wild flowers. We climbed up to the top where we could overlook the high area occupied by the enemy,…
My first and favourite book. As a family we enjoyed travelling and researching for this book. We travelled to Israel/Palestine staying in the historic city of Jerusalem. The city conquered 34 times in known history and where Jesus was killed and resurrected. Our mission was to find and explore the site of the battle of…
This is the only one of my books which was published by another company. Numbers 2 to 5 and hopefully those beyond are self published. However I really enjoyed writing this story which is loosely based on and inspired by my paternal grandparents. I don’t know their full history, but a few elements of their…
This is my fifth book. As I mentioned before, my first draft is done, but I am taking on feedback from my beta readers. One in particular has sent me a very detailed report on his findings, and as aa established author, I am taking his points very seriously. This has resulted in a major…
The thorny issue of assisted suicide has reared its head in the media once again. It is still illegal in the UK although the authorities often close their eyes to the practice which started when we were all living in caves and still continues to this day. The topic is even more relevant in times…
