I have been a member of ABCtales since 2003.
I have published five collections of poems: ‘Idle Thoughts’; ‘Reflections’; 'Cherry Ripe''; 'Poetry on Tap' and 'Cherry on Top' plus 'Guns and Dolls' – a short book containing three short stories – and three novelettes 'Jessica World', 'An Enquiring Mind' and 'A Life's Journey'
Digital versions of these can be found at Smashwords. and other distributors like Kobo and Barnes and Noble.
I was a member of Writers Group and indie publishers I*D Books based in Shotton, Flintshire until they ceased activity.
My work has been featured in various magazines and anthologies.
A regular contributor to ABCtales.com I also contributed to the websites Poetry24 and UKAuthors.co.uk. I was ‘Writer of the Month’ on the latter in December 2005.

Learning of the inner secrets
Posted on Mon, 23 Mar 2026
Learning of the inner secrets of some residents of Mornington Heights is a real eye opener. No one could have imagined that a seemingly respectable hamlet could hide such turpitude and moral decay. No doubt the pure-as-the-driven-snow Deputy...
