About the author

I was born in London in 1956 and lived most of my life in the south of England.

I ran a naturist resort in Portugal for three fun-filled summers. Mrs Bun decided this was what we wanted to do. We spent two years searching before we found L’Olivette, our little paradise in the South of France.

Teachers always tell you to write about things you know about. So, that is what I did!

During the long evenings of the quiet season, a series of novellas and short stories started to take shape, one letter at a time

The first book in the Rags to Riches series, in which our central characters first meet and romance starts, “The Uncovered Policeman” was published on Valentine’s Day 2016.

Since then, I have got a little carried away!

Reviews

[Michael Beyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ted has done it again with a new and very appealing story to help normalize naturism. Melody is a powerful female protagonist with a determined outlook and skill at figuring out how to move forward no matter what the situation. She has to deal with life after her beloved husband is killed in a car crash. And, as she finds her own way, she can't help but try to help others too. This is a sweet, sad, and sensual story that you can connect with on so many levels. I recommend it highly, especially if you have any interest at all in the nudist/naturist lifestyle. It gives you a good idea of what it is like and what the benefits are.

Too much of a good thing

First, this time there weren't as many poor proofing errors as previous books. That was a markdown previously. Second, as a naturist, there was way too much sex to suit my taste. I know it was the main part of the storyline, and an "äha!" at the end. So, the Ted Bun skill was well displayed, once again. But, it just didn't promote naturism as wholesome, as I would have liked.
