  This website is for everyone that enjoys writing or reading stories. I am all for encouraging children to read books, so this is a Family friendly site meaning children are safe to read anything on these pages. However, this is the Internet and Parential guidence should be in place when linking to other websites.

 Set in the Orient this fast moving thriller features World Organization Against Drugs special agent Harry Thompson, who is involved in the destruction of a large narcotics factory in Hong Kong. The Drugs Syndicate put a contract on his head, and he leads his would-be executioners on a merry spree around the Orient.

In the middle of all this mayhem Harry falls hopelessly in love with Constance Pilkington, the beautiful daughter of the last British resident Consul in Hong Kong.

As varius hit-men fail to kill Thompson, the Syndicate boss hires the best in the business, Frank Skinner from Chicago to finish the job, and he traps the newly weds on MacDonald Island in the middle of the most ferocious Hurricane to hit the South Pacific in fifty years.

  I have been lucky enough to travel the World as a musician before I started writing, and those experiences have provided me with plenty of material for stories.   

 In 'Have trombone, will travel'  I have attempted to record as many of the great (and not so great) things that happened to me in my travels both as a civilian and as a member of the British Royal Marines.

(When I  first went to Singapore in 1957 it took six weeks on an elderly Aircraft carrier. Nowadays, you can fly there from the UK non-stop in 12 hours or less! )

    Children... Computers, Wii Games, X-box, Nintendo and mobile phones are fun but don't forget to read a book every fortnight or so.

   The best movie theatre and sound  system is right there in your head!

   Words are powerful, and you set the scenes, smell the flowers, the food, the sea, the air, feel the excitement, the sadness, the laughter, and all the other wonderful experiences everytime you start reading the story in a book.
