About the author

I was born in London in 1956 and lived most of my life in the south of England, now I live in the sunny South of France.

For three fun-filled summers I ran a holiday resort for naturists in Portugal. Then I discovered what I really wanted to do., and retired.
After spending two years searching Ted and Mrs Bun 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 darker 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 the central characters first meet and the romance starts, “The Uncovered Policeman” was published on Valentine’s Day 2016.

Since then, I have got a little carried away!

Reviews

[Barefoot in Nature]

This series is a great nudist series. While some of it is a tad unbelievable, I didn’t really mind. Great character development. Great story line. This book was a beautiful end to the series. A new love, after a love like no other. Just a sweet read.

[Michael Beyer]

This book is whimsical in a very down-to-earth sort of way. The characters are realistic, and because many of them are also naturists in their philosophies and life choices, it also introduces you in a very fair and balanced way to what life is like for naturists. The essential plot of the book lays out what you might call a "domestic adventure", if not a "romance". And the crux of the plot happens in the exotic locale of the very real New Albion island nation. You do not have to be a naturist or nudist to read and enjoy this book, but it certainly doesn't hurt anything to be one either.

Still impressed me

Today was the third time I have read "Live, Love and Laugh". I have read all of the "Rags to Riches" stories and feel like I know all the characters. What really impresses me is how the author has a unique ability to make these all seem so real, so entirely possible. There is one part, late in the book, that Kim reads a letter left for her by Bea. It has brought me to tears each time I've read it. I highly recommend this book BUT please be sure to read the earlier entries first.

Hard to review the start of new connections

Rags to Riches starts and continues for many years as one large and somewhat disjointed but connected (yeah, weird huh?) family. Then the series jolts the follower by death of one of the key figures. She lives on fortunately in remembrances brought out in this and the previous book. Live, Love, and Laugh might be the start of a whole new line. Not yet at least but we can hope. HEY TED, don’t leave us hanging on this family!
