Born

Genre

Member Since
August 2011


Roger Cave was born in Bolton, England. For thirty years he's worked in the financial industry and began to write for friends and family until his first novel, The Barcza Gambit was published in 2007.
The books written by this author are military thrillers, which feature the lead character, Commander Alec Fincham of the Special Boat Service.
All the books relate to chess plays or pieces, the story often following the plays.

There are a number of books in the Alec Fincham series with more in the pipeline. They can be read as stand alone stories, but are better read in order.

Why don't you take a look at the Alec Fincham Facebook page and leave me a message:

New beginnings

Gosh, nearly 18 months since my last comment on here.

Unfortunately, I've been so busy in this time, that I have hardly written word, and have two books to finish. I thought with COVID, which I was unfortunate enough to catch, and put completely out of action for a few weeks, I'd have the time at home to work on the books, but sadly that was not the case.

Then I took the decision to pick it all up a Read more of this blog post »

“Boys think girls are like books, If the cover doesn't catch their eye they won't bother to read what's inside.”
Marilyn Monroe

James D. Bradley
“Today the word "hero" has been diminished. confused with "celebrity." But in my father's generation the word meant something.
celebrities seek fame. They take actions to get attention. Most often, the actions they take have no particular moral content. Heroes are heroes because they have risked something to help others. Their actions involve courage. Often, those heroes have been indifferent to the public's attention. But at least, the hero could understand the focus of the emotion.”
james bradley, Flags of Our Fathers
