In the current book, one protagonist was able save himself because he was wearing RM.Williams elastic side boots”. ” Did you set out to write a series?”

“The books have been fun to write, accidentally becoming a series, as readers seemed to enjoy the characters. Pacific Incident 9-11-13 was the first international one published, written after a cruise. The first, ‘Murder In Tusmore Park’ was written during the writing course, and Book three‘ The Procurers’, another International, was commenced on ‘The Sun Princess’. “Book 4 is in first draft’ ” Have you chosen a title?” “Either, the’ Provincal Agenda’ or ‘The Forty Second App’. It includes a very beautiful Humanoid receptionist who has been fitted with an extra App, a sex drive”.
