Witness to the accident which kills a British Princess he is pursued across Europe by men who will stop at nothing to capture him. This is the story of one man's fight for survival faced with brutal torture and violence,
I was born in South Yorkshire, and never wanted to do anything else but join the Army. After enlisting as a boy Soldier at the age of 16 and completing a years training at the Junior Leaders Regiment I was posted to Germany. It was whilst fighting in the first Gulf war and through my three tours of duty in Bosnia that I found my love of writing. I grew up reading good old fashioned adventure stories such as treasure island and the famous five series. I had these books in mind when I wrote Poppy Darke, I wanted poppy to have a real adventure, meet weird and wonderful characters and take her to the limits of an eleven year old girl. I hope I achieved this and I hope you enjoy my books.
This is a novel I thought up in 1997, but left it until now to write. The story is based around the conspiracies surrounding the death of Princess Diana but I hope the central theme is one man's determination to survive at all costs.
I hope you enjoy the story as much I enjoyed writing it.
