My first published book 'Cold Hell in Darley Dene' (written as Glenn Stuart) was the culmination of years of trying to get myself into print. Back in 1979 I submitted a novel to a publisher, and in 2009 Darley Dene was accepted. Thirty years of honing my skills, and learning a lot about the world.

Adventures in Writing – a new look!

It has been quite a while since I last wrote this blog.

I became very disillusioned with my life all that time ago. My writing wasn’t going anywhere, my marriage was falling apart and, all in all, the future appeared grim.

Well, life is weird, as you all probably know! Here I am, all those years later, and almost everything has changed.

I have now remarried and am very happy.
