BOOKWORMS AND VILLAINS

I first wrote 'House of Villains' twenty years ago (or more) when I started writing for fun. THIS WEEKEND I shall be making the novel available to purchase and download FOR FREE - Friday June 28th - Monday July 1st. Romance without the sex scenes. Violence without the glorification. Neat Catholic elements (miraculous medals, Confession, old recusant shrines and more) Gorgeous English houses and locations. Can it still be an epic thriller? Try it out and see. Something different to try on Amazon Kindle: bookmark the page and download it this weekend. Fun to write, possibly fun to read.... Supporting Indi-Authors: KINDLE

Here's a sneak preview of the following three - I shall blog about more soon! Book 8 is called Valentine's Day at The Secondhand Bookworm. Yes, it set during the week leading up to and including Valentine's Day so there is romance in

This is the lovely uniform I wore in the magnificent Kim's bookshop where I helped to run two-three antiquarian and secondhand bookshops in Sussex, England for ten years (the uniform endeavour only lased a year). Although I am no longer in the book trade business (I'm in the film production business now) I enjoy writing a series of novels loosely based upon my experiences there under the series 'The Secondhand Bookworm' available worldwide through Amazon kindle, kindleunlimited and in paperback. I introduced uniforms in the series in the last couple of books. First we started out with hideous bright t-shirts. Fortunately the managerial staff (me included) were able to upgrade to nice blouses, but we soon all got fed up with them. So I have included this in the novels. We had fleeces too (you can see one hanging up in the background) and they remained for emergencies when the door was left open (which happened a lot). It's June and I'm working on book
