When I wrote my first novel, Paranormal Nonsense, I was a Captain in the British Army. I would love to pretend that I had one of those careers that has to be redacted and in general denied by the government and that I have had to change my name and continually move about because I am still on the watch list in several countries. In truth though, I started out as a mechanic. Not like Jason Statham, sneaking about as a contract killer, more like one of those greasy gits that charge you a fortune and keep your car for a week when all you went in for was a squeaky door hinge.
At school, I was mostly disinterested in every subject except creative writing, for which, at age ten, I won my first award. However, calling it my first award suggests that there have been more, which there have not. Accolades may come but, in the meantime, I am having a ball writing mystery stories and crime thrillers and will claim to have more than a hundred books forming an unruly queue in my head as they clamor to get out.
Now retired from the military, I live in the south-east corner of England with a pair of lazy sausage dogs. Surrounded by rolling hills, brooding castles, and vineyards, I doubt I will ever leave, the beer is just too good.

Tempest Michaels opens a private investigation agency, but the newspaper ad is miss-written as paranormal detective agency. In Paranormal Nonsense, Tempest investigates several cases but the biggest is a Vampire Club. He meets Amanda, a police officer.
In The Phantom of Barker Mill, Tempest deals with glowing spectral dogs and a phantom wreaking havoc in a steel mill. Amanda wants to work as an investigator with Tempest, and she puts her notice in at work. Tempest is really attracted to Amanda, but she gets involved with the Barker Mill heir.
The author is English and uses British English in writing. There is quite a bit of conversation involving sexual topics and encounters.
I found the stories interesting. It might be nice if the main characters weren't so caught up in thinking and talking about sex. It doesn't add anything to the story for me.
I received an audiobook code from the author. I listened to the audiobook.

It’s a slow going mystery series.
The main character is a self absorbed jerk. He spends way too much time evaluating whether a female is shagable or not.

Some of the initial exploits of Tempest Michael, Paranormal Investigator. Ultimately, he resolves all of the cases which are documented. Why would he discuss a failure? While entertaining, there are issues to be overlooked. He's a bungler who regularly gets led into traps or points the finger at the wrong party. Plus, he's a loser as he disrespects women: losing their phone numbers, addressing them by another's name, ogling them, making up fantasies about them, and hanging out with misogynistic buddies.
Action-packed. Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Scary. Tragic. Twisted. Unpredictable. Whimsical. Wonderful characters.

Very funny. All the investigations were interesting. He has rotten luck with women, but he is more like a teenage man when it comes to them. I like how he fully admits it though. I thought the first book was better than the second until half way through. Then they evened out.
