To Heaven or to Hell

In a time in the not-too-distant future, where mankind had all-but-used-up the earth’s fuels and commodities and people’s living standards had plummeted back to more than a century ago, comes a story of one man’s fight for survival.

Danny Pruitt was an ordinary family man trying to eke out a living in the harshest of times but when a visit from overzealous police turned deadly, Danny’s life was turned upside down. With no choice but to escape corrupt authorities, he flees to the nearby mountains and soon finds an unlikely haven in the forest.

With a bounty on his head and trying to elude his relentless pursuers, he embarks on a journey of love, mateship, betrayal, tragedy, murder, infidelity and revenge whilst fighting his inner torment and whatever nature’s fury can throw at him. Will he fulfil his quest to reunite with his cherished wife and two young sons and find freedom at his northern tropical property named Heaven, or will the deeds of his committed sins condemn him to Hell?

The Wolf

“Even though I detest you, human, your functions are familiar to me, your thoughts and words are understandable, your odour is bearable and, most of all, for now…you are all that I have.”

Hunter was in debt to the wolf and he was not going to let her die without a fight. He already knew how to fight when he had joined the army…but then – America trained him.

The Third Tunnel

Why would Alby even think about peeing in Reenie’s uncle’s best Sunday suit? OK, he’d lost all his clothes and his house, but did he have to lose his flamin’ dignity too?

However, not only did the lovely Reenie have an eye for putting together a sharp whistle, she was after all the local Plod’s wife, but she’d found that lately, she’d also had a roving eye and Ralph the Spiv had fallen deep between the sight lines. The trouble was, that was right where he wanted to be! That is until it all goes off deep inside The Third Tunnel.

The Student

Loosely based on the author’s experiences in Cairo, immediately following the 1967 war, this engaging story follows a group of American students sent to Egypt to learn Arabic. During the course of their stay, the students experience conflict between their, often romanticized, images and the reality of life in Cairo as they learn to survive during the last days of the Nasser regime and the end of Egypt’s golden age. This book provides an alternative view of Egypt and the Middle East as its protagonist, an imaginary James Bond, studies, shops, haggles and defends his self-identity in a foreign culture.

The Stretch

Based on a true story

Each time Rockin tries to book a limo to take him and his friends on a drunken trip to London, they are refused, until one firm informs them that the only way that they would be able to book a limo for six lads was if they were going to a wedding.

They have their answer! By the next day, the limo is booked and the morning suits are hired, even down to the buttonholes.

As the limo passes Birmingham, Marco comes up with an idea and two minutes later he is on the phone to the newspapers. “Yeah, that’s right, the groom's found out that his bride-to-be has slept with one of the ushers. He’s phoned her and she has admitted it!”

Rockin is nominated to be the groom but in real life is dating a beautiful blonde Catholic school teacher. He sits in the plush surroundings of the Savoy hotel dreading the phone call he was going to have to make, asking her if he could be a fake groom and appear in the Sunday Sport newspaper.

Two scruffy-looking men walk into the bar; one has a camera slung over his shoulder. The time has come: Rockin has to make the call.

The Sting In The Khyber's Tail

The Sting in the Khyber’s Tail, will be classified as a work of fiction, but this would only be partly true. Most of the adventures, that the three intrepid travellers became involved with, are based upon true events.

Billy, Joe and Tom’s journey took place in the late 1960s. At that time the driving conditions throughout the world were quite different from those that exist today.

They make their way eastwards across Europe from France, as driving conditions deteriorate. They continue through Iraq and Afghanistan as their worries change from unkept roads, to sadistic border officials to dealing with bandits.

As their adventures continue, Tom and Joe find ways to keep Billy’s volatile character in check and join heads to find their own secret techniques to avoid bandits.

Much of the story concerns each character’s development throughout the long journey. The two youths mature rapidly, but Tom becomes a completely different man.

The ultimate question remains: who knows the truth and how can it be known? The book also encourages readers to think critically about the theories and ideas presented in the real world and to approach them with a patient and honest exploratory spirit.
