Hello and welcome to my little slice of the internet. Here you will find stuff about my family's adventures aboard the good yacht Kra, along with more recent stuff about my current adventures writing novels. I should add that my soon to be released debut novel, Meddlers, has little to say on the subject of boats.
Take an average family and chuck them in at the deep end...
The Backward Ark is an absorbing insight into the reality of living the tropical cruising dream. Featuring real pirates of the Caribbean, Hurricane Ivan, a stoned Rastafarian Santa and plenty more besides.
With drama, humour and lashings of tropical spice, this book will appeal to anyone who has ever looked out of the office window on a cold, grey day, wishing they could escape. As you'll discover, a surprising number of people already have.
Including much that goes beyond the interests of the cruising sailor, The Backward Ark is not a book about boats, it's about bringing a dream to life while trying to navigate the stormy peaks and troughs that inevitably accompany living on the edge.
Book One of the Sod’s Lore Trilogy
Tom was starting to believe that malicious forces were deliberately destroying his life. It turns out they were just trying to get his attention.
Tom is a man struggling against uncommonly constant adversity. Discovering why, he is soon transported to a strange realm based on mid-nineteenth century England, populated by folk who barely reach his waist in height, and who are ruled by Lord Sod, of Sod’s Law fame. Tom's mission, to help the rebels overthrow a cruel tyrant while simultaneously freeing Earth of Sod's malign interference.
‘What is power but the ability to meddle in the affairs of others.’
Lord Sod
