This story of an unsolved murder in rural New South Wales is a perfect mystery that will keep you guessing all the way through and then drop your jaw with a truly shocking twist at the end.
Just who did murder Danny Holdsworth's best friend Nigel Slater over thirty years ago when they were both teenagers who'd grown up together in Broken Ridge? It's a shadow that's been hanging over the town ever since and the local police have never been able to get close to solving it. But why? What or who has been stopping them?
Now a highly esteemed television journalist Danny returns to Broken Ridge and is determined to finally find the answer to Nigel's murder. The local police are helpful at first but the influence of a retired officer who investigated the murder at the time, and who still believes that Danny did it, is determined to dig up enough dirt to prove himself right.
In the meantime, Danny's own investigations bring him back into contact with Caroline who he was once engaged to but who's now very unhappily married to Danny's childhood nemesis, Tim Reynolds. But Tim has secret business difficulties that have led him into the clutches of a Melbourne ganglord and his Russian associates. They give him more trouble than he's ever known but he doesn't imagine just how fatal his association with them will prove to him and his family.
Caroline is determined to try and find what she and Danny once had when they were emotionally involved before he left town all those years ago. But Danny has already embarked on a secret affair that has trouble written all over it and yet he's driven by a passion that he just can't turn away from. And when Caroline finds out who the affair is with she's almost ready to commit murder herself.
Then Danny gets a surprise visit from his estranged mother who has lived in the US since abandoning Danny when he was a child. She brings with her the darkest of secrets which not only identifies Nigel's killer finally but also delivers a devastating truth about Danny's own identity that sends him reeling.
It's a revelation that makes him wish he'd left well alone.

Finally, coming up to date and introducing some familiar faces around TURN. All profits from the sale of this collection go to TURN Education to help with their remarkable animal -related therapy work with children, young people and their families.

Just published a novelette on Amazon Kindle for a token fee of 0.77 GBP THE SYNOPSIS:
In July 1993, Detective-Inspector Ikenna Kodilinye of Lagos Police Command is ordered by his superior to travel to the faraway city of Enugu to assist the local police over there with their investigations. He is reluctant to go to Enugu because of the trauma that he suffered there as child during the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970).
This short story chronicles the frustrations endured by Ikenna while stuck in the notorious Lagos city traffic en route to the airport from where he is scheduled to fly to Enugu.
Between an annoyingly talkative taxi driver, the chaotic gridlock outside and the emotional turmoil brought on by the reawakening of repressed childhood memories, the frustrated Lagos city detective struggles inside his taxicab to keep himself cool under the sweltering citywide heatwave. Then he relieves his childhood trauma from decades past, and comes to the realization that his superior's order to travel to Enugu was serendipitous— a chance to finally experience catharsis.

HiI hope you are all well and coping ok in these trying times - everything seems insane at the moment.
Anyway
If anyone is interested my new book
'Fall of the Romanovs' has just gone on sale on Amazon for purchase on Kindle (£0.99p or $1.39) and hard copy paperback (£6.99 or $9.60)I've attached a small example for your pleasure:-
"Okay, everyone, call to order, order."
The words came from the newly appointed chair for the Westfield Amateur Theatrical Company, Geoffrey Mayweather and were accompanied by a banging of a gavel on the table. He was pleased with his new position and he looked it. Portly, balding and shiny-faced, every inch the bank manager.
He banged the gavel again and said, "First on the agenda...this year's play."
His wife, Melody, a tiny, 50-something brunette with delicate features, a surgically preserved hand span waist and well-shaped legs, determinedly a Little to his Large, interrupted his smug survey of the assembled committee members with a quiet but forceful, "Er...first Geoffrey, just to let you all know, Emily popped in earlier and left cakes in the kitchen for us." She had no intention of partaking herself but needed her female friends to dive in and engorge themselves.
There was a chorus of 'oohs and aaahs'; Emily Clunk's exquisite cakes were legendary.
"Should I get them now?" This offer came from Clive Bowthorpe, middle-aged, paunch and comb over, perennial bachelor of the parish, known to have a soft spot for both Emily and her cakes.
"Not yet," said Geoffrey, his sweet tooth fighting with the need to keep time, "things to do."
"Don't mind him, Clive," Melody's laugh tinkled through the words, "he's thinking about the football."
Clive was half-way out of the room before she'd finished speaking.
"Kick off in just over an hour," murmured a voice. Eric Stones, his mind on the game and how long it would take them to get home. He seemed to be unaware he'd spoken; the words emerging of their own volition.
His wife, Deirdre, all gym toned body and Botox face, was sitting well within earshot and raised her immaculate eyebrows, (in so much as she was able) and gave him a stern sideways look. Eric's face folded in on itself and his enthusiasm for the beautiful game waned.
"I nominate Time's Up," said a loud voice. There was a collective groan from the assembly and Derek Greene stood up, using his height to dominant effect. He was determined to get his nomination in first. "Mable," he said, indicating his wife who looked startled to be named, "will second the motion."
"Oh no," sighed Melody, "not again, surely."
All eyes turned to the hapless Mable. She was squirming, embarrassment writ large across her pretty but vacuous face. Would she be the dutiful wife and support Derek's play for a third year? Despite knowing how badly it was received and attended last time, bearing in mind it had been just as badly attended the year before that and that was before people knew how awful it was.
"Mable," pressed Derek.
She gulped.
"Mable?"
"Seconded," she said, her voice barely audible.
"You'll have to speak up, Mable, old love," said Geoffrey, using chair's privilege, hoping she would take the opportunity to withdraw the nomination or at least have the decency to faint, "I don't think the others heard you."
"Yes Mable," said Derek, "Speak up girl."
"Seconded," said Mable, this time more forcefully. She shared their misgivings about putting it on again but knew from personal experience how pig-headed Derek could be. He would give her such grief at home if she didn't support him and he was quite capable of nominating it year on year until it was accepted and somehow made into a hit or until they all died of the sheer agony of going through the same torment again and again.
Deirdre had told Eric she intended to oppose Derek if he put forward his play again, and true to her word she spoke up, "I think we should call time on Time's Up!"
There was a light titter at the pun.
Eric began a vigorous nodding, indicating his support of his wife. He forbore to speak, unsure if it was safe to do so. Naturally, anything that sounded like disagreement would be met harshly later and in most cases the nod was the safest course of action. As his nodding slowed to a head bob, he remembered with a clutch of concern that there were times when a nod wasn't enough and full-on verbal heart felt support was required. The problem was that he never knew which was what at the time and would be instead informed about the lack of said support at a later stage and in no uncertain terms. He sighed at the tenuous nature of his survival.
"How exactly," said Florence Chestnut, Flo to her friends, in her best deep-throated actress voice, "were we to make anything of that tosh of a script...I would defy Olivier to do anything with it."
Despite entering her fifties, she was still, nonetheless, a gorgeous looking woman; milky-white skin, flame hair and a figure to die for or get extremely excited about depending on your proclivities, however she had the personality of a hungry crocodile and therefore she garnered no support.
There was a collective groan at the name drop.
Even Martin, her husband, Ken to her Barbie, made a sound, quickly suppressed. She had once appeared in film in which Sir Laurence had starred. She'd tried to steal the scene and had been banished from the studio. The scene ended up on the cutting room floor. Florence explained the missing footage on an error in set design. No matter, they couldn't go through a meeting or a rehearsal without her drawing reference to having once appeared with Olivier.
Eric saw an opening for some manly behaviour of which Deidre might approve. He stood up, heavy-set, 5ft 11 in his socks, clumsy and un-coordinated, tugging at his jacket pocket and saying, "D'you like me to read the reviews?" He was pleased that he'd taken the time to dig them out in anticipation of Derek nominating his dreadful play again. He tugged at his jacket again, the moment almost lost. He could feel Deidre's head shake without seeing it, and he tugged harder. Then the cuttings from last year were in his hand and he was flourishing them in Derek's general direction. He spoke loudly from memory, "Dull, tired, meaningless drivel, poorly scripted...nonsensical..."
"Steady on, Eric, that wasn't my fault, it was the cast...if they had more belief in the..."
Geoffrey cut across Derek's protestations, saying, "Ok, we've heard from the Nay sayers, now, who's for Derek's motion?"
Derek's hand shot up whilst the others round the table determinedly folded their arms. Mable tucked her hands under the table and ducked her head.
"Mable," hissed Derek, spotting the lack of support, "hand."
Mable grimaced, then raised her arm, quietly confident that it would make little difference if the others remained strong.
"Clive?" said Derek.
Clive swallowed the remnants of his third cake and squirmed in his seat.
"Clive," Derek said, "come on, I've always backed you."
This wasn't true, Clive felt inferior to Derek and was intimidated by him. Slowly, he raised his hand.
The room sighed.
Derek turned to the next on his list of likely targets. Daffyd Brodsky had supported him every year so far and he was confident he would do so again.
Daffyd was, as usual, draped on his chair, louche and languid, yet there was an air that was unfamiliar about him. And more worryingly, he showed no sign of raising an arm.
"Daffyd," repeated Derek, fixing the younger man with a dark stare.
"Actually..." said Daffyd, his voice a slow drawl, "I have a play of my own to offer this year."
He'd changed significantly since he'd made the decision to come out as gay, to himself, and to the public, albeit at some unspecified time in the future. His confidence levels had risen and that had altered his general demeanour. A few of the women on the committee had noticed; he was dark and brooding in a Welsh Heathcliff-like way, and this new confidence added emphasis to that. They'd spent several hours in huddled sessions, speculating on the probable cause, none of which had been anywhere near the mark. Daffyd was adept at keeping his cards exceedingly close to his chest and this hand, in particular, was well and truly clamped tight within his ribcage.
Derek stared open mouthed, the others turned in surprise, Daffyd never had ideas.
Melody gave Flo a knowing glance, Flo elongated her face raising her left eyebrow towards Deirdre who sent her own coded look to Mable who gulped; Derek would not like this one little bit, and she was bound to hear about it for weeks on end, especially if Daffyd's play was chosen over Derek's which in her heart of hearts she desperately hoped would be the case.
"What play is that Daffyd, my boy?" asked Geoffrey, turning slightly away from the dumbfounded look on Derek's face.
Daffyd's burst of courage had deserted him. "It's not all that, something I came up with...."
Derek felt rage coursing through him, "What could you have possibly written about? Spit it out," he said, a vein was now pulsing in his temple, "you've started now, so finish it."
That did it. "It's about the Russian revolution," Daffyd said, no longer sprawling or languid, "and actually...I'm quite proud of it."
"A revolution?" said Florence, her hands theatrically cupping her face, "I don't think we want anything to do with revolutions, do we girls?" She could see no role for herself in this and was immediately disposed to oppose it.
Daffyd wasn't about to leave it now the subject had been broached, "My paternal grandfather was an émigré...he fled the revolution...and my play charts the history of the revolution right up until after the Great War."
"How on earth do you expect us to put something like that on?" demanded Derek, "No, no, no, I think we all know we'd be better off sticking to something that we know..."
The others winced visibly, there was no way they could stomach appearing in Derek's disaster again.
"Anyone else?" asked Geoffrey.
"We could revive 'Horticulture Harriet'?" said Deirdre.
Eric seized his opportunity, "Hear, hear, darling."
"Ah yes, a wonderful concept, Deidre," said Geoffrey, groaning inwardly, "although we must consider what happened with the Daffodil boys? In of itself a superb idea of course, but the realisation of the idea was less..."
"Can't be done," said Derek, "not worth contemplating."
Deirdre was disappointed but didn't want to strain her facial muscles so restricted herself to a sigh.
"I'm working on something," offered Clive nervously, "but...urm...I haven't finished it yet."
"Well how close are you?" asked Melody, "To finishing it, I mean?"
"Oh...well...not so close really," said Clive, "perhaps it might be better saved for next year."
"Oh, for God's sake," Derek said, "there's no alternative...bar Daffyd's preposterous call to revolution and I'm sure we're all opposed to that, which just leaves Time's Up."
The room fell silent as each committee member stared into the nightmare that would be a rerun of Derek's play. The endless rehearsals with him bossing them all around, the same awful lines of what had been a tired script the first time round, the mounting despair as opening night approached, the group humiliation of staring out at empty seats and the same soul-destroying reviews as the local rag ripped into them once again. In short, the horrendous prospect of yet another mortifying flop.
"All in favour of Daffyd's Russian Revolution?" asked Geoffrey.
With the exception of Derek all hands shot in the air.

Out now and introducing Australian Detective Jason Farrell. One man has protested his innocence for over forty years.
One body has never been found.
One town has been hiding deadly secrets for decades.
Wayne Portman is released after spending forty years in prison for a double murder in the town of Kingsbrook, New South Wales, back in 1977 and for which he has always maintained his innocence. One of the bodies, that of his girlfriend at the time, Fiona, has never been found. Wayne had been a bright scholar who had been set to do well at university. He was known as a kind and gentle soul, not one given to losing his temper sufficiently to commit murder. .
Shortly after his release, Detective Jason Farrell is appointed as the senior at the Kingsbrook police station. But when murder strikes Kingsbrook again, Farrell spots a glaring parallel with the crimes of 1977 that make him re-open that original case and begin to believe that Portman may have been right to have always claimed to have been innocent.
His investigations begin to reveal some very dark secrets and before he knows it Kingsbrook is rocked by a past it has never faced up to. But will he be able to stop further murders before he can finally get to the heart of the truth?

Guided by a strong sense of right and wrong instilled in the three of them by their late parents they're unable to just walk away.

Out Now, SAVIOUR REIMAGINED 
Rewritten and Reimagined, with fresh content and a brand new ending, author James Perrett presents, ‘Saviour Reimagined’, a mind-bending, psychosexual (mis)adventure set in a Post Pandemic Britain.
*Trigger Warning* Please be aware that while fictional, this novel includes graphic descriptions of mental health, drug use, suicide, childhood sexual abuse, physical, and emotional abuse. Please be sensible. If any of these things impact you, then perhaps this isn't the book for you.
“I simply have no explanation as to why, at the very height of my loneliness, that I took to emailing myself back and forth. Yeah, you read that right. One person, having a two-way conversation, with himself. I'm ashamed now, but at the time it was an important tool that let me explore the duplicity of my personality”
Welcome to Post Pandemic Britain!
Jake Marine has a pretty good life; wife, child, a job which he’s pretty damn good at. He believes he is the people's ‘Saviour’. To be honest, a lot of people think he's a bit of a d**k. And he's not doing himself any favours. Is a chance meeting with a mysterious Femme Fatale the catalyst for change or is Jake about to enter into a very dangerous game?
Jake is lost and just wants to find a way home.
Praise for the 1st Edition of ‘Saviour’
“The book does feel a little autobiographical. But again, I can't decide if that's what it is or if that's what the author wants you to think. Either way, it's a good read, especially if you like The Hunger Games/ Orwell’s 1984/ the apocalyptic genre” (Amazon Customer, August 2017)
“Is it real a dream, a past life.... well I still don't know. But I'm glad that I spent a few quid for the madness of the ride!!!! (Amazon Customer, January 2018)
My eleventh novel - This Awful Small Mercy of Miss Miriam Malone - has just been released. I think it's pretty good, but then I would say that, wouldn't I?! ;-)The austere, mediaeval village of Small Mercy is a place where function is all. There is no colour, no joy. Nobody dares even to dream lest they suffer the consequences of indulging in so unproductive an act.
One bleak night, a stranger, John Dawlish, decides to pay a visit. Dawlish is all that Small Mercy is not. His presence alone is at odds with The Constitution, which prohibits all newcomers, especially those as bizarre as he is.
When Dawlish at last departs, the villagers notice that two local children are also missing.
It is when the cruel Auditor, Franklin Singe, is gathering his party for the hunt, that something truly astonishing happens in that place where the wheel stubbornly remains the height of technology - a mobile phone begins to ring…
This Awful Small Mercy of Miss Miriam Malone is a novel about the power of imagination, where nothing is how it seems. Not by a long way.
My new book is OUT ON TUESDAYNon fiction, self help, health and wellness, healthier living
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SN3FRHV"Have you ever sat down and eaten an entire bag of chips and weren’t even hungry? How do you even know if you’re emotionally eating? It’s not just about feeling sad and indulging in a tub of ice cream. Sometimes we celebrate by going out for an indulgent dinner, or maybe we have gotten stressed out from day to day and feel better after our favorite sweet. If you are eating to feel better, then you are emotionally eating. That can lead to overeating..."
Lethal. Deadly. Dangerous. Fear and loathing. Murder. It all adds up to what the streets of Blackpool's premier holiday resort mean to DI Layla Khan. On the other side of where cheap booze, cheap clothes, slot machines, and fast food reign supreme, DI Khan has to try and sort out the Blackpool that the tourists aren't meant to see.A teenage prostitute is found murdered. A sample of her blood was taken by the killer. Then a second one is discovered with the same MO. Why is the killer taking their blood? Both girls turn out to have been HIV positive. Did the killer know this? Were they deliberately targeted?
Taking on the investigation, DI Khan has to contend with a DS who displays thinly veiled racism towards her, and a superior officer who needs her to get a result quickly because he championed her promotion. And there are plenty who would be ready to prove him wrong.
A prominent local family at war with itself. Corruption on the local council. A threatening hand from DI Khan's past. They all make it even more difficult for DI Khan to track down the killer.
But what will happen if she doesn't?

It comes in waves.
It's already too late for most of us. Walking around with bio-bombs ticking away in our bloodstreams. Bombs that are synchronized to go off together. Before you know it you're diving into the deep end of depravity. A pool of insanity you're never coming back from. Surfacing once or twice to witness the horrors you've caused before your soul takes a deep breath and disappears forever.
It's not natural.
The infections occurring simultaneously across the globe prove it's not a freak phenomena. Someone is behind the pandemic that's turning people into insane cannibals. Who'd benefit from so much death and chaos though? The humanity of whatever group pulled the trigger on this madness is seriously up for debate.
There's No Vaccine
Chris watches as the world around him falls apart. Bitten by a loved one he hovers in a feverish state for weeks. His recovery carefully observed by a group that considers itself above humanity. A group that sees people as prey. Chris becomes a pawn in the war to determine the future of mankind. Follow him as he evolves from being a frazzled twenty something college educated mama's boy into something more. Hopefully it's enough.
Just published a crime fiction novel on Amazon Kindle THE SYNOPSIS:
In Nigeria's pre-internet era of the early 1990s, a Lagos city police detective is on the trail of a group of ex-soldiers who have reinvented themselves as sweet-talking con artists specializing in the art of enticing gullible European and American businessmen with “too–good–to–be–true” scams with disastrous consequences.
With more foreigners falling victim to scams, and some winding up dead, would Detective Ikenna Kodilinye be able to take on the ruthless soldiers-turned-fraudsters?
