I try to write thoughtful, contemporary crime novels and include several plot layers in my books. The adult novels feature DCI Sophie Allen and her close-knit team of detectives. I don't write simple whodunnits, nor violent, all-action, gun-toting thrillers.
The sequence of books in the series is as follows:
BOOK 1: DARK CRIMES
BOOK 2: DEADLY CRIMES
BOOK 3: SECRET CRIMES
BOOK 4: BURIED CRIMES
BOOK 5: TWISTED CRIMES
BOOK 6: EVIL CRIMES
BOOK 7: SHADOW CRIMES
BOOK 8: SILENT CRIMES
BOOK 9: RUTHLESS CRIMES
BOOK 10: BRUTAL CRIMES
BOOK 11: HIDDEN CRIMES
BOOK 12: VICIOUS CRIMES
BOOK 13: HEARTLESS CRIMES

BOOKS 1 - 12 are available as a Kindle box set. The Kindle versions of my novels provide a really low-cost way of reading my books.

I've also started a series of adventure/crime/mysteries for teenagers: THE MISFITS, available on Amazon.
BOOK 1: The LOST TRAMP
BOOK 2: THE MISSING PILOT
BOOK 3: THE POISONED MEADOW

The Misfits are a group of friendly and supportive teenagers who all feel themselves to be outsiders in some way; disabled, gay, ethnic minority, Asperger's or other life-issues that leave them feeling isolated. They get together and instantly feel at home with each other. They set about solving crimes that may appear to be too low-level for the police, though they have a habit of escalating. Give the books a go; you'll probably enjoy them!

I live in the West of England and set the locations of my novels in this region, usually in Dorset, a beautiful coastal county.
You may wish to visit my website to find out more or to contact me; search for my name using any good search engine. I'm happy to answer all emails that come my way. You'll also find a collection of short stories available for free online reading on my website.

A small number of bizarre reader reviews for novel 9 imply that I’m a “rabid leftie”. In fact I’m a floating voter and have voted for all three main UK political parties in elections at various times. But I have an “inclusive” outlook on life, and I empathise with minorities. Some also seem to object to my stated support for NHS and care staff during the Covid pandemic, and also to the inclusion of a small number of LGBT people in my novels. I intend to continue including personalities and topics that make people think. I support the Black Lives Matter movement, Women's Rights and improved Trans Rights. I don't believe there's a conflict between Women's Rights and Trans Rights; I think the current apparent conflict in the UK is entirely manufactured by people with a hidden agenda.
