Trouble Cross ↗

Thomas Robel, a newly established insurance investigator, is so desperate for his first case he is set upon a tortuous trail by a mysterious American woman.

Rewind ↗

Everyone has wished sometime or another they could go back in time and have the chance to do something over again. Jason West has wished these many times.

Once Upon a Week ↗

Seven new never seen before fairy stories, each based around a proverb. Witches, dragons and trolls, with a life lesson thrown in, and maybe the odd parent chuckle along the way.

Pratt, Pratt, Wally & Pratt Investigate

Pratt, Pratt. Wally and Pratt are a newly formed firm of insurance investigators, although only one person works there, Thomas Robel. He gets his first case from a mysterious American woman who appears unannounced at the office.

T is for…

Thomas Robel’s new insurance client is acting suspiciously and he carries out his own investigation only to get caught up in kidnap and murder.

A short prequel to Trouble Cross

Doctor Oh No!

Short James Bond spoof from the 80’s lifted from the pages of Trouble Cross.

S.P.I.D.E.R. operative Sindy Cobweb, W7, attempts to rescue a missing scientist and his eyesight formula from the combined enemy forces of S.M.A.S.H. and S.C.E.P.T.I.C. in their Egyptian lair.

    Failure to Launch

    I finished writing ‘The Puzzle’ in May 2021 and have been trying to find an agent or publisher since. Fifty rejections – or in the majority of cases just silences – later and I entered it in the Readers’ Favorite 2023 Competition for an entry price of $119. The results were out today and whilst…

    We’re all going on a bummer holiday

    My holiday officially starts today, as yesterday was a Bank Holiday, and I don’t think I have ever dreaded two weeks off work more. Not that I want to be working but it is going to be just like a work week without the work. Not going away. No money. In the flat alone as…

    The white flag from my last blog is still flying – well, probably lying limply on the flagpole really – although it might be a little larger now. Things are spiralling out of control. That last blog missed out another cross I have had to bear for years. In addition to being consistently alone, no…

    I have not posted a blog in some time – other than the Wordle League table – and this may not change any time soon. Since I hit the zero birthday in February everything has come to a stop, not that things were zooming along anyway. I look back on not a life but an…

    Now, this is my first effort in the area of children’s writing and I didn’t know if they would be any good, so I asked a couple of primary school teachers to read them.

    Wordle Up!

    In January 2022 I wondered what all these green and yellow square boxes were that kept being posted on Twitter and so I discovered Wordle.
