The Town: Burnfield Book II
Available on Amazon today.
Book II of the Burnfield Trilogy Michael Watson continues his investigations into the town but his findings only raise more questions...and more fear.
What links the life and death of Donald Carpenter, a 1930s movie star, with the fate of the crew of a German bomber that crash landed on Burnfield Hill in the early years of the Second World War? And why is David Crombie, the only survivor of the Hill Murders, returning to Burnfield... and what will he discover when he finally arrives in the town he used to call home?
Michael Watson believes he has found the answer to these and other inexplicable events and it's one that frightens yet excites him in equal measure.
The Town: an English horror story.
The Murders: Book I of The Burnfield Trilogy is available now on Amazon.
The Hill: Book III of the Burnfield Trilogy will be available in November.

The Murders:Burnfield Book 1
I decided to split my novel Burnfield into 3 books and here's the first:
The Murders: Book I of The Burnfield Trilogy
Burnfield: a small town in the north of England, where nothing of much importance has happened since its founding almost a thousand years earlier…
Or has it?
Michael Watson, a teacher at the local school, begins to write a history of Burnfield and in doing so he uncovers a mystery, one that he thinks links the brutal murder of 4 boys in 1975, a religious massacre that occurred hundreds of years earlier and a charismatic preacher who came to the town at the turn of the 20th century and who, along with his followers, suffered a grisly fate in the shadow of Burnfield's hill…
And so Michael Watson begins a terrifying journey into the dark heart of a town with horrifying secrets… and some seductive ones.

A Facebook Author Page
Just had a go at creating one of these-it's a bit fiddly to get things set up and I'm still not sure how to get the GR app working despite spending all afternoon swearing at the computer.

Action Stations (The Brantholme Years Term 3)
My new novel 'Action Stations' went live on Amazon this week.
It's the third book in the trilogy called 'The Brantholme Years' and it's set in the 1970s, a decade without Facebook, Twitter or mobile phones. You could, however, purchase a house for 500 pounds, buy enough cigarettes to make both your lungs explode and still have enough change left over for 6 rolls of Izal toilet paper and a bag of Sherbet Dips.
Ah, those were the days...
Fighting Talk
Phoney War

London 2012 Opening Ceremony-Highlights and Lowlights
5 Highlights
1. Nimrod, Jerusalem and Danny Boy.
2. The 'Queen' jumping out of that helicopter and opening a Union Jack parachute (and to the strains of The Dambusters March.)
3. Brannagh reciting from The Tempest dressed as Brunel (even though some American commentators thought he was Lincoln.)
4. The tribute to the NHS- and with Cameron looking on too. Nice one Danny Boy!
5. A quick burst of The Sex Pistols.
The Lowlights
1. Paul bloody McCartney.
2. In the musical montage nothing from The Smiths?!?

Some good news for self-publishers?
An article from Guardianbooks: the industry is looking to independent authors for the next big 'thing' after you-know-what.

My first blog post on my new website
God Almighty- this hasn't been easy and for somebody like me, who's not technically minded, it's been like wading through digital mud.
Anyway I've just added some links for reviews received for my novel Tabnit Gisgo.
Off to lay down now in a very dark room...

A writing holiday
Back from holiday-went to a blisteringly hot Dubai- not got much writing done but did a lot of reading!
I still have 5 weeks off work and I'm going to concentrate on writing the sequel to Tabnit Gisgo which has a working title of Tabnit Under Siege.
I'm also trying to get my website off the ground. I'd like to get a blog going and here's the website so far.
