I am pleased to announce that my new collection of short stories, Lost and Found is now available for pre-order on Amazon worldwide.





The beautiful cover was designed by Kat from Aeternum Designs

Formatting for the Kindle version was done by Deena at EBookBuilders


This collection is called "Lost and Found" because I thought the stories were lost and then I found them! I wrote six of the stories back in the '90s and they were on a floppy disk. I found the disk a few years ago, but it was corrupted so I couldn't retrieve the stories. Luckily, I had printed copies of the stories and they were hidden away in a drawer at home. I found those last year and decided to publish them. I updated and edited them. I also wrote a new story for the collection, "Boomerang".

Here's a bit about the stories:

1. A Different World: A young man finds friends in the most unlikely place.

2. An Innocent Man: Will Oliver face a prison sentence for something he didn’t do?

3. Boomerang: A single mother wants her old life back, but will her prayers be answered?

4. What’s Left Unsaid: When one lie leads to another.

5. Office Gossip: What happens when a handsome new male boss starts work in a female dominated environment?

6. Birthday Boy: Will Victor get away with his lecherous behaviour?

7. Happy Anniversary: Les is unhappy in his marriage but things take an unexpected turn.


You can pre-order on Kindle now. It will be released on the 18th of March 2016. The paperback version will also be available soon. I'll announce that when I have more details.

Terry Tyler has just published a new novella!

"Best Seller: A Tale Of Three Writers" is currently available on Amazon for just 99p/99c



About the book:

Three women, one dream: to become a successful author.

Eden Taylor has made it—big time. A twenty-three year old with model girl looks and a book deal with a major publisher, she's outselling the established names in her field and is fast becoming the darling of the media.

Becky Hunter has money problems. Can she earn enough from her light-hearted romance novels to counteract boyfriend Alex's extravagant spending habits, before their rocky world collapses?

Hard up factory worker Jan Chilver sees writing as an escape from her troubled, lonely life. She is offered a lifeline—but fails to read the small print...

In the competitive world of publishing, success can be merely a matter of who you know—and how ruthless you are prepared to be to get to the top.

BEST SELLER is a novella of 40k words (roughly half as long as an average length novel), a slightly dark, slightly edgy drama with a twist or three in the tale.

The Dream



Lynne cannot shake her feelings of dread; her dreams tell her she is making a terrible mistake, she must not marry Adam. But, how can she believe the dream? Lynne and Adam have shared their lives for three years now. She is certain she loves him.

It is not that love, which her dream warns against.

It doesn't matter that she loves this man she will soon marry. If she marries him, the voice in her dream says her soul mate will die. Her true love will perish.

Soon, Lynne's world is transformed and becomes almost unrecognisable, except for the déjà vu. Time doesn't seem to mean much anymore, and things are not quite as they seem. As her world spins out of control, Lynne must sort out what's real and what isn't to fulfill her destiny.

My latest short story, "The Man in the Photograph" is now available on Kindle worldwide.

It's one of the longest short stories I've ever written, and is inspired by my day job. This is the closest I have come to writing a courtroom drama.

"The Man in the Photograph" deals with themes of domestic abuse, parental alienation, etc.

It is quite a tragic tale. As with all fiction, there is some exaggeration of reality to help convey certain messages.
