During my career I have flown all over the world, so have sat for ages in airports waiting for the damn planes to arrive or depart. It was during these useless, yet precious hours, that I began writing my short stories: in 'Gullible's Travels' I describe some of my misadventures. Some stories are unashamedly 'chick lit', while others are more worldly. A few are personal and true, while some are deliberately condensed within a 60 or 100 word limit. In one story I write as a child to describe events during WWII: I have also included one children's story. The surprising details of Shakespeare's bequests in 'Will' are totally accurate. In 'Eyes of Hope' I describe the emotions of a girl of Turkish and Greek Cypriot origin during and after the Turkish Invasion of 1974. I wrote 'Koala Country' on my way home from Australia while another story describes the feelings of a frustrated and jealous colleague of Bridget Jones. Like conspiracy theories?'The Death of Napoleon'contends he was murdered.

REVENGE IS WILD JUSTICE

Revenge is Wild Justice is part of the Dalton trilogy. It is set in Edwardian England where the wealthy Somerville family and the poor Dalton family live. Blacksmith's son Adam Dalton crosses the class barrier to become friendly with Sir Charles Somerville's neglected children, Philip and Juliette. Sir Charles is a respected member of society but he is a wife beater and is involved in paedophilia. He is eventually murdered and the book traces the lives of six people who have a motive to kill him. There is a sexual coming of age involving the three teenagers, encouraged by the local goodtime girl, Molly Dancey. But their relationships are doomed, so they each leave the village to seek their fortunes. Adam joins the Titanic, Philip becomes a pilot in the RFC and Juliette goes to the Continent. When World War 1 begins in 1914, Adam and Philip are reunited in the RFC and Juliette becomes a spy. Sir Charles becomes a director in Intelligence.
