WELCOME to my official website

I have written over seventy books in a variety of genres. For a full list of all my titles, click here.

My two series are the historical Morland Dynasty series, and the Inspector Bill Slider Mysteries.

MORLAND DYNASTY -- All the history you need --

THE MORLAND DYNASTY is the longest-running historical family saga ever, following the Morland family through five hundred years of British history. Though the Morlands are a fictional family, they interact with real historical events and characters, so you can witness through their eyes the great events of history from the Wars of the Roses through the Restoration, the French Revolution, the American Civil War, the Charge of the Light Brigade, and the sinking of the Titanic. More and more, people are coming to understand that history matters, that we cannot understand who we are unless we know where we have come from. The Morland Dynasty is both a family saga and a painless way to absorb the real history of this island and its people. It is intended to continue up to the Second World War. At present I have got as far as WW1.

THE BILL SLIDER MYSTERIES

The BILL SLIDER books are classified as ‘police procedurals’ because Bill is a Detective Inspector in the Metropolitan Police, based in Shepherd’s Bush in West London. But if you’re not fond of procedurals, don’t let that put you off. The books are really about him, and chronicle his whole life experience, both at work and at home: someone has called them ‘detective stories for people who don’t like detective stories’. Each book contains a separate murder mystery, but Bill’s life – and that of his friend and colleague Jim Atherton and the rest of his team –  is a continuing background story to these episodes. Of course, Bill would probably say that the murders are a background  - and an unwelcome interruption - to his real life.
