I started by writing Science Fiction as I enjoy the genre and Star Trek in particular, although I don't like the doom and gloom that seems to be all the rage at the moment. I hope the future will be better than now and that the human race matures into a more spiritual and compassionate species. Maybe I am a cock-eyed optimist but I don't want to be depressed when reading a book. I can do that by reading the newspaper!
Instead I'd like to write inspiring and hopeful books but with a great story too so I began to write the kind of fiction I'd like to read. The first few were Star Trek stories but soon I wanted to write novels with my own star ship crew and their adventures, hence the Solar Star novels were born. The first three are a trilogy but are still complete books in their own right. I am working at the moment on the ninth novel of this series and have written a prequel called ‘Trust Me’ which is aimed at teenagers
Day Trips to Heaven is my first mainstream novel, published in paperback (ISBN 978-1-907203-99-2) and as an eBook by Local Legend. There are times – especially when life is hard – when every one of us wonders what Heaven might be like… Here’s your chance to find out! Ethan is learning the ropes as a spiritual guide and not finding it at all easy, despite the help of his lovely mentor Danielle and Archangel Haniel. Join him on his roller-coaster trial runs as he is allowed to bring a few deserving souls from Earth for a preview of the afterlife.
“This charming book is full of gentle humor and spiritual wisdom. It is a compassionate account of the lessons each one of us needs to learn during our journey on the Earth… letting go of pain, discovering our life’s purpose and caring for the planet.” (Nigel Peace, owner of Local Legend publishing.)

My second mainstream novel, Karma Neutral, is out now. (Published on November 1st 2015). (ISBN 978-1-910027-10-3)
We have all said things that should be left unsaid and not done things that needed to be done. Sometimes these things have hurt other people, either through our thoughtlessness or intention. Then, in moments of reflection, we begin to wish that we could make good our mistakes and wipe the slate clean. But that’s not possible… is it?
Karma is the ‘record’ of all our thoughts and actions, both good and bad. Many believe that we carry karma with us from one lifetime to the next and that it affects our material circumstances here and our spiritual development hereafter. Whether this is true or not, surely we all wish to end our lives at peace with those we have wronged and with our own consciences.
James Wylie is a successful, self-made businessman who has given little thought to the effects of his relationships with others. But when he receives a devastating diagnosis, he begins to reassess his life and realizes that he has to do something about it - fast.
“This powerful novel, full of surprises, is both spiritual adventure and love story, asking deeply important questions of every one of us.”

I have written several contemporary novels, short stories and four children's picture books too. I have included the first chapter of ‘Solar Star’ here. This story is about the crew of the star ship Solar Star and their friends the Sakkarians, who live in a spiritual community. The first three of these novels describe the escape from Earth of the star ship community, their journey to the Andromeda system and how they settled on their new home, the planet Ieeshia. Each novel is complete in itself.
My teen/SF/ novel ‘Trust Me’ is on Kindle and the first two chapters of this are here for you to sample. This is a prequel to the Solar Star novels.
