Roo I MacLeod was born in a bush hospital in Australia on a hot, humid day and fought three doctors, two midwives and the utilities type person against his entry into the world (his mother’s words).

School was a bore and work a chore (his words), so he traveled. Australia by Beetle, Tasmania by bike, Europe by train and Africa by bus. The holiday ended in England when he met an English rose. Alas the petals peeled away and thorns was all he got. (his words).

No More Heroes was conceived in a quaint English church when he took shelter from the rain and doubled the mourners for a funeral. He was invited to pray and sing a few tunes and chuck dirt at the coffin.

He now lives in a squat in West Sussex and is barred from two of the five pubs in tow

I guess they're a taster for the real novels featuring Izzy and her dead twin, Elliot. The first novel, Loads of Trouble should be published late August and is available to preorder. I don't offer the Izzy Izzard PI stories to the public. One day, when I've got a collection together I'll get them edited, but that day is a while away. And I should be sending another story in my Newsletter next week along with the details regarding Izzy's launch date.
Thanks for the message.

Not for me

DNF. It has romance written all over it. Poor girl wanting better but ugly background keeps putting her down. A man, strong silent, rescues her and on it goes. As I said, not for me
