Back on track

For the past three weeks I’ve not had my laptop due to an ongoing repair job which I have to say was all my own fault. Note to self, never nod off with your laptop on your knee whilst holding a mug of tea, it has disaster written all over it. Well that’s what happened…

Forever and a day

On a recent trip to London I visited the Waterstones book store in Trafalgar Square where I picked up a copy of the new James Bond book, Forever and a day written by Anthony Horowitz. That sounds far grander than it was, we were on a city break on one of our allotted annual leave…

New covers, new upgrades

  Jack Dillon is my pen name for a series of books that are similar to my Col Sec series but are set in present day. In fact there are two series of books, one is the SI6 series and the other is the ATLAS Force series. The latter has three books, The Satan Strain,…

Col Sec is still reeling after the incident in Washington DC where thousands lost their lives by the hand of Goran Visjic the man who was determined to…

Revisiting old friends

Back home

It’s been a while but here I am back on WordPress. I tried other resources to build a blog on but none of them were as good or as easy to build as this was. The last time I was on here my blog was called DoubleTrouble which I thought was quite a catchy name…
