A LITTLE MORE ABOUT MY LIFE AND LIKES

15 years ago after visiting a friend in Cyprus, I decided I liked the pace and environment of the Mediterranean and was particularly drawn by the Greek islands. After visiting several of them, Crete stood out head and shoulders above the rest. I recharged my batteries almost overnight and both MiSDirection and Assurance were finished for publication within a year. Two more books, Assimilation and Accession, are being researched to complete the quadrilogy.
Crete has provided a real fillip for writing but I can't quite put my finger on why. Perhaps it's the tranquillity, the lack of traffic noise or even the social scene and spending time with genuine people instead of a pseudo existence in front of the TV. I have met some 'real' characters, one of which has inspired two further novels; Discrete Reversal was published in 2015 and another, Sea of Duplicity, is now under way and nearing completion.
