When a top undercover
agent working in Syria on Friday, turns up dead
in Norfolk on Monday, Dan Glover of MI6 is sent
to investigate. He discovers ISIL are sending passenger
jets to land at an unregistered British airfield;
their cargo is mainly civilians, but includes militia,
and weapons: 2,000 illegal immigrants per day; and
then he discovers four more airfields.
Making discovery after discovery, Dan concludes
ISIL are planning to turn England into a Caliphate.
Dan is assisted by a small team from MI6, and local
police. The local Station Officer, Inspector Felicity
Wigglesworth becomes his staunchest supporter. They
become lovers, but can their relationship withstand
the rigorous call of duty?
Their romance seems destined to fail, as Muslims
take over towns and villages, and war with ISIL
on British soil, becomes inevitable. Interspersed
with romantic interludes, Islamic State: England,
details how religious fanatics could take over England,
and western Europe.
The plot twists and turns, as greater discoveries
are made. Those in positions of power refuse to
take pre-emptive action, by which time it is too
late. With SCUD missiles headed for central London,
can Dan muster the resources to fight back against
the tyranny of ISIL?
One irony of this book is that aspects of it are
already coming true in real life.

Domicile
In modern British Family Courts, ‘the needs of
the child are irrelevant’.
|
|
Dare
any mortal enter the dystopian world of modern children?
Since Dickensian times, no author has conceived
so damning a commentary,
concerning contemporary childcare.
Domicile is a place one must reside by enforced
law.
This book is based entirely upon known fact.
|
Written through the eyes of a young
girl who endured years of horrific abuse, Domicile
exposes a British care system hell-bent on destroying
normal, loving families. Or is there another, more
sinister motivation? Family Court must balance social
worker claims of ‘possible, future emotional abuse’,
against the foreknown emotion abuse of a child being
taken into Care.
The book asks if in law, there should be Degrees
of Rape. It proposes the level of intent of both
parties be taken into consideration, and that anonymity
for both be the norm until conviction.
But what sets this book apart, is that it follows
the money trail, something police and press failed
to do. Those in positions of deepest trust, and
a Duty of Care, sold themselves out for money running
into tens of millions of pounds. It is but a small
step to conclude British judges and barristers,
Social Services, Police, and Local Authority, are
also an integral part of this travesty of justice.
The Muslims in Rotherham were also making Millions
of pounds p.a. in untaxed, used notes. The figures
are in the public domain, but nobody bothered to
do the maths.
This book does.
What if––one of these girls was your own daughter,
legally abducted:
10-years old, and already an unpaid Muslim sex slave?
Profits from sales of this book will go

It is refreshing to
read a book where the two main characters are strong
female role models, and the main topic of conversation
is not which boy they like. Although products of
adversity, they never back down from any challenge,
but rise to overcome everything the brutality life
throws at them. It is notable that the supporting
male characters never once take precedence; this
remains the story of two adolescent girls from front
to back cover.
Although categorized as Young Adult, Urban Fiction,
the strength of the book, will appeal to a wide
range of readers, both male and female. Inner Sanctum
offers hope, help, and a model for those who struggle
to raise themselves. Through confidential sharing,
the girls form a formidable team, fighting against
past and present injustices. Death, revenge, and
remorse are just some of the milestones they encounter.
When Shona, now known as April, realizes that
for her life to move on, she must confront her mother,
Annaliese has words of advice. “April, you don't
need a gun to go see your mother.” But April is
not so sure.
The book is set in contemporary San Diego, and
is written in American English.

Conspiracy
Theory, Book Two of the Fractured series, is a mystery
and espionage thriller that continues the story
of April Bekkons and Annaliese Braun; damaged, but
not broken by events no young girl should have knowledge
of. They raise themselves to do what is necessary
to save themselves, others, and eventually their
country, from destruction.
The book picks up directly from the last line of
Inner Sanctum, and introduces Michael. From the
apparent ramblings of this crazy man, the plot coalesces
to bring in the Sheriff's department and FBI, who
with support of the Secret Service, set up a task
force to track the threat nationwide. They discover
a terrorist plot to destroy the American system
of government, and have to prevent the immanent
launch of undetectable, nuclear missiles.
The science described in the story is real and
documented within the context of the novel. Using
a series of bizarre localized disasters, real military
science, and a nefarious cabal that links them together,
the plot weaves a tale of conspiracy theory made
real. It just might come true.
The book is again set in contemporary San
Diego, and is written in American English.

The Gatekeeper
and The Guardian, the first episode of
Star Gazer begins with the hero, Jack Barleycorn,
being washed ashore on an imaginary island in the
South Pacific.Set in the contemporary world of today,
he discovers a branch of human kind long thought
to be extinct.
The islanders have a Stone Age culture, but use
an extremely advanced technology, one that was left
behind by an alien race called The Ancestors. Later,
Jack discovers other branches of the human line
also survive, although we know of these from myth
and legend as Elves, Dwarves, and Ogres.
This science fantasy, science fiction trilogy
leads us to question both Darwinism and Catastrophe
Theory, and offers an alternative explanation to
our human evolution. A series of discoveries irrevocably
alter his life, and as the extraordinary tale unwinds,
we are led to question our most basic assumptions
about humanity: who we are, where we came from,
and perhaps more importantly, where we are headed.
The book is set in the South Pacific, and
is written in British English. Find out more...
coming soon.
Available from Amazon and similar retailers, in

The Twelve Tribes,
continues the compelling story of Jack's life. The
beginning introduces several new characters, most
notably Kay, The Dark Elf. She and Jack discover
much about the Ancestors, their spacecraft, and
the history of all humanity.
We learn the Ancestors created the Twelve Tribes
of humanity in their own image, by cloning an manipulating
their own DNA, and that of the existing proto-human,
homo habilis, and creating their first prototype,
homo ergaster.
The Shaman, an enlightened being, becomes more
closely interwoven within the plot, as the Elven
prophesy indicates all Twelve Tribes must be reunited
to save humanity from The Wrath of Gaia. The problem
being, The Great Ogre, despotic Overlord of the
Tenth Tribe, is determined to subjugate or exterminate
all sentient life on planet Earth, and a series
of battles ensues.
The book is again set in the South Pacific,
and is written in British English. Find out more...

The Wrath of
Gaia completes the first trilogy, detailing
an end of the world catastrophe that is completely
original, entirely believable, and also highly possible.
This is compounded by The Great Ogre, who continues
to wage war with all the other Tribes, using the
Wrath of Gaia to his advantage.
The final chapters reveal the Shaman and a
young girl standing alone to face the might of the
Great Ogre and his mutant hordes. How can they possibly
win?
The first trilogy was written as largely science
fantasy, the second under pen, is mainly science
fiction; a new threat has been detected by the Elves,
one from deep space, and it is headed directly for
planet Earth.
Does God exist? Or was humanity created by
an Alien race that came to Earth millennia in the
past? That hypothesis, presented in this book, is
difficult to refute. Religious beliefs are examined,
questioned, as set against The Seven Virtues. How
could Eve be the first woman, when she was Adam's
second wife? These questions, and others like the
discovery of the Ark of The Covenant, containing
The Twelve Commandments of The Ancestors, are revealed.
Several versions of the Ten Commandments are also
found, each revealing a male orchestrated, misogynistic
belief that women are not the creators of life,
but are there to satisfy male desires, mainly of
the flesh, those of power and controlling others.
The book is again set in the South Pacific,
and is written in British English. Find out more...

Under Pen |

The Bear Went
Over the Mountain. Meaning irrelevant text.
It relates to brilliant work, that does not add
any value to the story.
The point of this whimsey is that nothing actually
happens––although, I do plan to make it most entertaining.
The bear's name is Benny, and he goes over the mountain.
End of story. |

character descriptions and images, large scale maps,
Jack’s backstory, and other interesting details. Sections
explain the Ancestral science, while others provide
full references, timeline, spacecraft diagrams and

adventure game being created that mirrors the first
book. |

Star Gazer Second Trilogy |
|
Stargazer second trilogy continues
to boldly go into the future, becoming a science fiction
epic. The cast and younger generation from the first
trilogy are joined by Poh, leader of the Ancestors
cousins. They come to Earth to escape persecution
by a more advanced alien species, the Aleutian-Hallion
Alliance. |
|
Oh, and anyone that knows me well, will also realise
there is a point to the story of Benny the Bear, if
not the one they were expecting. |
