Currently, I am promoting my new Victorian crime novella series. This first is The Detective Ladies of Baker Street and out now as an ebook. The second and third will be out by summer 2013.

Island of Steel, the WWII heroic adventure, has been out since Oct 2012 and selling very well. I have also adapted a screenplay, which is on its way to Hollywood. And a sequel, Beaches of Blood, is moving along nicely in the background.

I recently visited Guernsey in the Channel Islands where my WWII action novel is set. I was interviewed on Guernsey Radio in a 20 minute slot on the Euan Mahy show. It went extremely well. Good rapport. A colleague recorded it for me to listen to and I haven't cringed once. Busy but blissful!

I suffer from a split personality: I write adventure thrillers and crime fiction - and lightweight satirical comedies. But they have a common link: they are always upbeat. When I write 'serious' stuff it becomes boring or inappropriately funny.

My birthplace is the famous Lancashire seaside place called Blackpool well noted for its glorious Victorian tower and ballroom. But aged seven we moved inland to Bolton, centre of the Industrial Revolution, and where the veteran Bolton Wanderers football (soccer) club is based. Bolton has been the family home town for many generations. I have since moved around and live in both Normandy and England. With time in America and Canada.

As a child I wanted to be an artist, but writing weekly 'compositions' at school inspired me to become a writer, and encouraged by reading hundreds of library books. At ten I matured with writing sci-fi. I got my first commission from a schoolmate to write him a story about a haunted space station. I still wake up sweating from ghostly galactic nightmares. At around 13, I branched out with a couple of surreal comedy stories based on the curious life of a pal's family

My first adult inspiration came from the theatre, and my first performed play was a Christmas pantomime, Ali the Barber and the 39 Thieves. I have written professionally for most outlets, starting with magazine travel articles after trekking to Australia and back, but fiction is my true calling with plays and serials for radio, scripts for screen and television, and stage plays. I worked in theatre, from set building to writing and producing. I also ran a ghost-writing agency. With little money and less experience, but with an obsessive passion and total belief in myself, I made the comic feature, Gobsmacked!. And what a vertical learning curve that was. But great fun. On advice from America, I'll be writing an inspirational book about how I made the movie, to show that we can all fulfil our desires despite the difficulties by being honest and truthful to oneself.
