My fourth book of short stories to be published very soon will comprise over thirty short stories covering the four seasons of life. Compared to my earlier books there will be more illustrations (as suggested by several reviewers) and the book will be under a new publishing company that approached me.

As a writer I value highly your honest reviews of my books and I listen and take note. I welcome honest reviews. One reviewer recently said that he loved my characterisation and would love to see me writing a novel. I have acted upon this advice and to date have written 30,000 words of a novel. The novel is a spy thriller and true to my short story writing there will most certainly be twists. The novel will be action packed and I will try to avoid a common pitfall of having too many characters for the reader to remember.

This is my first novel, so at this stage I have absolutely no idea to how long this novel will take to write suffice to say that I am one third of the way there.
