Devils, demons, werewolves and other creatures of the night don’t have to be scary. In fact, at times they can be downright funny.

They’re not immune to recessions either.But we wouldn’t want to disappoint you. There are plenty of moments in this little collection that make you hold your breath, make you want to lock the door and turn the lights up and make you wish you hadn’t stayed home alone.Laugh, cry and prepare to be scared…

Love and romance can be tough for a compulsive fibber Archie has quite a reputation as a practised fibber. Normally his lies are harmless but as time goes by they begin to get him into more and more trouble. They lose him his girlfriend, and bizarrely, his hearing as his ears begin to react in a very strange way every time he is less than truthful. Giving honest opinions isn’t enough. Deep truth is called for. But finding that isn’t easy. Some truths are very hard to face. Then numbers become interesting, too. Fibbin’ Archie, is, however, more than the story of a disenchanted young man. It is also a writing experiment based on a fascinating number series (Fibonacci!) It is a piece of experimental writing, a humorous story of love and sex, an examination of social issues affecting young adults and a story of coming of age. Interview with the authorWhat makes Fibbin’ Archie so special? This is a writing experiment, based on the Fibonacci number series. Sections are 1 word,. 1 word, two word, three words, five words etc. There is also the more normal story arc that also includes a Golden Segment pattern of having the turning point coming at between ¾ and 4/5 of the way through the text. This is all so appropriate as Archie himself is fascinated by numbers. Why should reader give this book a try? Archie is a loveable rogue who comes good. He and his mates are funny and vulnerable though they play at being tough guys. Love of his life Millie is a feisty poppet. The story’s “feel good” by the end though it goes through some demanding hoops. Is this one of a kind? Yes and no. This is a unique experiment, though I am planning Voices, a story about a girl who grows up hearing voices, as another that plays with the Fibonacci numbers in a slightly different way. Archie anyway is very much like my other young adult protagonists. Check them out on my Amazon author page. Thanks for reading.

Kaleem has given up the love of his life in order to protect her.

The Peace Child trilogy is a young adult coming of age story set in a dystopian future where good old fashioned magic and modern artificial intelligence make even more complex the social issues that Kaleem faces as he reaches out to those others call aliens. Each story within the trilogy has its own arc but a bigger story forms as you read all three. A fourth is on its way. See below. Interview with the Author So, what makes the Peace Child series special?I’ve been told that it’s great for getting girls interested in Science Fiction. It also has many of the characteristics of the normal young adult novel – above anything else it is a bildungsroman, a story of growth, a story about how Kaleem finds his identity. It also deals with some topics that are important to everyone: nationalism versus globalism, an aging population, monetary crisis and politics that make you despair. What order should I read the books in? Each book is a complete story on its own and contains a glossary of terms that may be useful if you don’t read them in order. So, we have: • The Prophecy• Babel• The Tower• The fourth has no title yet. At the time of posting I'm 20,000 words into the first draft. I hope to publish in early 2018. Kaleem is facing a political situation that is very similar to the one we are facing in 2017 on Earth. It strays into the area of New Adult. Possibly you are growing up with Kaleem. So why should I give these books a try?You’ll fall in love with Kaleem and / or Rozia, the girl he falls in love with. They behave just as you’d expect young adults to. All three novels contain the pace, tension and emotional closeness we’d expect in a young adult novel. In book four they gain some maturity. Do you have any other books for young adults? I most certainly do. Why not pop over to my author page and check them out? Thanks for reading.
