Sometimes the interesting life you yearn for, turns out to be the life you dread. From the second fifteen year old Jacob Paulson started his new job at Books and Bobs he sensed his life would forever be altered.

However, there was no denying Bob Rice was eccentric, and just what was the mysterious object in the store room that Jacob was strangely attracted to? Had Jacob imagined the woman crying upstairs and what was the “research” Bob insisted he kept private? As Jacob struggles with the trials and tribulations of growing up, he also notices time and again, everything in his life leads back to Books and Bobs and the hidden object in the store room.

About the author

Born in Essex, I currently reside in Bromley, Kent (UK) where I live with my wife, three sons (no more!) and a King Charles Spaniel called Scout.

After attaining a degree in Ancient History from Kent University in 2000, I held various jobs before joining the Home Office later the same year.

Currently I am a senior manager, heading up a security and recruitment enablers team by day and writer by lunch!

Officially I am also the Lord of Tattingstone - a square metre of grass in a muddle field north of England.

I began writing seriously 8 years ago and have recently published my fifth novel, "Within Stone's Shadow." It is the third book in a planned 4 book series entitled, "The Ballad of Frindoth."
