About the author

Born and raised in London, loved reading but deeply lazy about writing at school, preferring drama. A brief acting career, then moved into the production side at the BBC's radio drama department - later at London's Capital Radio, by which time the writing "switch" had been flicked on. Spent as much time as possible travelling in the US, working and writing. First novel, IN LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP published in 1986 after five years of writing. Wrote sagas with big dramatic finishes in the early days, and then, as the body count rose, made the move into psychological suspense and thrillers. Last book LAST RUN soon out in trade paperback, and the latest (and 20th) -RALPH'S CHILDREN - out soon in hardcover.
Living in London with husband Jonathan, and dog Poppy.

Reviews

[Kim · Rating 3 out of 5]

This story spans 40 years. It follows the lives of two men that meet during WW II. Their friendship evolves throughout Europe and America. Only one thing can destroy their bond, a woman. The book was written in the 80's and has that sweeping epic romance feel to it.

Entertaining and absorbing reading.

It started out so promising but soon became quite predictable - thought I would never reach the end of it....

Horrible. Absolutely horrible.
