About this author

Hi.

Thanks for stopping by.

At the moment I'm busy pondering ideas, grabbing moments to scribble down scraps of writing and living life. But I'm still finding time ro read (I will always find time to read) and doodling my thoughts on Goodreads.

For now that is my status, but when my pondering comes to something I will let you know.

FRJ.

Wow!

I appreciate I’m arriving ridiculously late to the party here, but like many before me I’m blown away by this superb slice of 1950’s science fiction. Ostensibly ‘The Stars My Destination’ tells of Gully Foyle’s quest for revenge against the ship...more

Jo I don't know enough Y. Ripper history to know why he was named as Peter Williams in the book and not Sutcliffe. I shall have to ask an older colleague who was a uni student at the time of the murders so remembers it all very well.

Beth Hi F.R.,
Thanks for befriending this fellow mystery/suspense author!

Elizabeth Hi, glad to be your friend on Good Reads!

In the UK? How exciting to meet a fellow author across the pond. I am in California with ancestry links to Redwood Castle in Ireland through my da's Irish Clan.

I've not read much horror, (and I am a cozy mystery author, greatly influenced by the British cozy authors) of horror genre, I have read classics from Peter Straub, E.A. Poe and a few others.

I was a Finalist Judge for the Eppies this year and surprisingly one of the novels I was given to judge was horror. It was so very well-writtten I gave it the highest possible score!
