I've been a free-lance writer for over forty years but my output to-date hasn't been widely read. It's mainly been user guides and help text for IT software, articles for business-to-business magazines and website content (including blogs). All pretty boring but the magazine articles at least gave me the opportunity to interview some interesting people, including a few celebrity chefs.

I've long wanted to write a novel but, with a mortgage to pay and a family to support, I needed a more dependable income. Now I'm semi-retired and the mortgage is paid off, I've been able to fulfil my ambition. The result is my first novel, "The Itch That Couldn't Be Scratched", which was published on 1st March 2024.

I've read quite a few John Grisham books and this has possibly the most complex plot. It's also a bit of a rarity in that the main character isn't a lawyer and the main action doesn't take place in a courtroom. The book focuses on the murder of two Su ...more

On the cover of this book it says 'words are his power' and there certainly are a lot of words. Over 300,000 I reckon spread over 790 pages in paperback format. I do believe the book would benefit from some pruning to reduce the number of words. I hav ...more

Jeff Senior answered Ruolin chen's question: What is your novel about? I think we can talk about it. It's essentially about obsession and about how our actions can have unforeseen consequences, sometimes with tragic outcomes. It describes a man's quest to gain justice for a woman he never knew and the effect it has on his relationships, especially w See Full Answer

I've never been that keen on Tom Selleck as an actor but I've seen a few of the Jesse Stone films and he seems perfect in the role. That's encouraged me to read some of the books in the series and they've all been a good read. This one focuses on a pl ...more
