Since I left school I've supported myself with farming, freelance writing and some consultancy.
The consultancy dried up a bit so having time on my hands I wrote the fantasy novel 'Swords for a Dead Lady'. This is on Amazon as an e-book.

A third book, 'The Flames of the City,' and a fourth book, 'Learning a Hard Trade', set in the same background, are now available.

The Dongle Saga

Jim and 5 other people liked Pam Baddeley's review of Death On Duty (Josef Slonský Investigations #3): "I enjoyed book 3 in the series a lot more than the second volume. For a change, the murder victim is a man - although there was violence against women later in the story and an apparent suicide. But it wasn't dwelt on as much as in book 2. This time " Read more of this review »
