Disinformation can be classified in many ways, propaganda, misleading information or just plain lies but more and more we see it invading our every day lives. This is nothing new, politicians and military leaders have used this tactic to give enemies false information since time began. We saw it take center stage recently with the…
Picking up the pace
The second book in the Col Sec series sees Matt Hawk who we last saw in Ronin, facing off against an enemy that has infiltrated all walks of life including that of business, government and even the military.

On a personal note.
As a writer the continuous lock downs were first viewed as a Godsend. Being an introvert being locked in my own home wasn’t a problem, in fact I looked at it as a paid holiday. During the first lockdown I continued to write and got myself a book deal which was nothing short of amazing….
New Book Deal
Many people during lock down learned a new trade, or tried a new hobby. For me it was chance to continue writing. I I have already written and self published 17 books, a 10 book sci fi series which has an off shoot and 6 modern thrillers. Like many authors I dreamed that one day…

New year, new start.
2020 has begun, the start of a new year and a new decade and as with every new year’s beginning a chance to evaluate your life and your goals for the future. In my writing I had reached a place where I thought I knew my voice, I had three book series on the go,…
Book to Movie adaptations
I’ve been a writer now for almost a decade, self published and traditionally published but I’ve never had the opportunity for any of my work to be made into eany other medium. By this adapted for screen, either small or large or stage and after seeing the debacle that the BBC did with HG Wells’…
