He’s a new kind of hero. Join him for his very first adventure.

John Smith’s life is dull and uneventful. Despite a privileged upbringing and education, he is an underachiever of the highest calibre. When Smith wakes up with Savannah Jones, an escort provided by his best friend, Mark Bradshaw, his life is changed forever. Eager to pay Jones, to avoid her pimp breaking his legs, he confronts his friend for the money – but there is one small problem – Bradshaw is dead. But what was the murderer after?

Fisher has lost his job and wants payback. Bradshaw had the one weapon that could grant him the ultimate revenge but torture hadn’t loosened his tongue. Smith and Jones are dragged into Fisher’s grand plot to destroy the bureaucrats responsible for taking the one job where his lust for murder was an asset. No longer part of the elite SAS, Fisher’s licence to kill is revoked. With only vengeance and an unnatural lust for his sister on his mind, Fisher will relish the destruction of anyone that stands in his way.

Jones, an escort for less than a day, must pay her pimp a thousand pounds or be sold to an interested third party with highly unsavoury tastes. Jones needs Smith to pay the money and Smith needs Jones to… well he’s not quite sure, but he clearly likes having her around. Together, armed with nothing but their wits, they become the pawns of an anti-terrorist agency in a plan to capture Fisher before he exacts a revenge that will take thousands of innocent lives.

Can the underachiever become the hero, save the day and get the girl? Find out in this dark story of murder, deceit, lust and revenge. It’s a fun and wild ride into a disturbing world.

“Everyone should read this. The twists, the turns, you were there with them all the way. Was so sad when book ended, didn’t want it to end.” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars

I started my career in 1979, following in my father’s footsteps, by working in construction and training as a civil engineer. A year later the industry took a nose dive into recession and I was made redundant.

Under advisement from my parents, as I had no clue what to do next, I entered the exciting and wonderful world of accounting. Yes, there’s a little sarcasm going on there.

I ended up qualifying as an accountant and worked in the profession for twenty four years, the last five in my own accounting firm which I set up with my wife. During these years I must have started at least fifteen novels and finished – you guessed it – zero.

Four years ago (I’m now 49 – when did that happen?), my son Ben (now 11) asked me to take three of his drawings, a dragon, a giant bee and a T-Rex, and write a story for him. As many of you will know, it’s hard to refuse your kids, especially when they know exactly how to twist you round their fingers, like mine does. So, I messed around with his story for minutes at a time, for a few months until I had a story that was in rhyme, a bit too scary and not very publishable. Ben loved it. Despite my wife’s idea to tidy it up and get it published, I let it sit around for months and like all my previous works, it sat in a cupboard.

It did, however, release my creative juices and I began to write every day. It felt great. Over the last two years I have published “The Mystical Wood” – the revised and edited children’s illustrated book written for Ben those four years ago, and self-published two adult fiction books for the Kindle. I am currently in the process of writing/completing two more adult fiction novels, details of which will be coming soon.

What can you expect?

Lots of action and adventure.
Lots of black humor.
The bad guys always get what’s coming to them.
Nothing too over descriptive (I admire works of literary fiction but they aren’t what I love to read or write).

I hope that you will find my writing entertaining and enjoyable and continue this journey with me. Please feel free to contact me and let me know your thoughts about my work.
