I was first published in 1982 and since then have published a number of books, both fiction and non-fiction. Historical detective fiction and historical romance are a new direction for me and I have adopted the pen name R J Lynch for a series of five books set in County Durham, England (with one in the revolutionary American colonies) in the 1760s. The first in the series, A Just and Upright Man, was published for Kindle by Mandrill Press on May 24th 2013. Sharon Wright: Butterfly and Zappa's Mam's a Slapper, both set in contemporary Britain, were published in 2014 as was my non-fiction book, The International Sales Handbook.
