"They say there is a book in everyone? Well in my case it took me nearly 60 years to find mine!"
9/11: Official Complicity On Monday 10th September 2001 I was given the devastating news that I was to be made redundant with immediate effect. I had been at this company for nearly 30 years, so no doubt you will realise I was upset and totally dejected? Yet when I witnessed the destruction and horrors in New York on the TV, I suddenly realised my problems were insignificant compared to those who were perishing in those planes and The Twin Towers?
During the course of listening to the many news reports, I began to wonder who was behind the atrocities.Why you ask? Well I'll tell you. Firstly, two reporters, one from ABC news, and one from NBC news, said 'live' on air that they had been ordered by the Police Department and officials from the Port Authority to evacuate the area immediately as there was explosions going off in the Twin Towers? Secondly, a BBC reporter informed the viewers (live) that Tower 7 - a few blocks from the Twin Towers - had also collapsed? NO IT HADN'T - WHY YOU ASK? Because the building was in the background? To this day the BBC will make no comment about the incident.
Over the following years I read and heard a great deal of damning revelations about a Cover up - Or 'an inside job' as they say over the pond? It was then when I decided to write a novel based around some of the incidents of that fateful day. The rest his history . . . or is it . . . Watch this space!
Leap Year The idea for this children's story has been with me since I was a child. When I was 6 years old we lived close to a creepy old Hall and like all children of that age, your imagination works overtime. Nasty weird old people, and a spooky house - All good fun.The story line for having it set in a Leap Year came later on, but to be honest that's what makes the story more terrifying and mysterious.
Christmas Presence This is my new children's novel which I hope to publish some time in 2012. The story is based around Tree-Spirits that live in your Christmas tree, and if you don't release them to the countryside after Twelfth Night - well you never know what will happen . . .
