"Welcome to my website. This is not only meant to promote my books but also to tell you a little about myself. One of the menu sections is marked 'The Author' and will provide some basic personal information.
I do hope that you enjoy the Château Sarony novels. They are intended as light action/mystery stories featuring a husband and wife named Martin and Anna Price. Although archaeologists by profession, their work has evolved into the investigation of historical and semi-historical conundrums. Although dealing with events of the past, their investigations regularly bring them close to very real dangers of the present day. So far there are sixteen published books in the series and I hope to publish a seventeenth in 2027.
In 2017 I also published an alternative to Château Sarony entitled Spitfire Inheritance. A second book followed named Hurricane Enigma, and a third - Lancaster Resolution - featuring Colin Medhurst and Billy Hagen, who were joined in the third story by Lady Wendy Donaldson. I intend to feature her in further books of this series.
Having first portrayed Clarence Wilkinson and Jenny Matheson in a segment of The Brandenburg Cipher I decided to award them a series of their own named 'Wilkinson at War' set in war-torn Britain of the 1940s. The result was 'The Woman from St John's Wood', followed by 'The Ten-Bob Traitors', and 'The Mayfair Ring'.
I hope to publish a fourth later this year.
Thank you for visiting my website. Please feel free to comment or ask questions."

The Lou-Lou Legacy
ISBN: 9798251693225
The discovery of incomplete skeletal remains on a Swiss mountain by Celeste Palin's Grandparents provides Anna and Martin Price with an apparently insoluble mystery when there are no obvious clues to the person's identity. The remains had stayed hidden in a gully for almost one hundred years, and it was unclear how they came to be where they were found.
Could there be any connection with the events at a British POW camp at Freiburg during 1915? Cavalry Captain Courtenay Mallory Rushwell becomes deeply involved with a German woman working for Abteilung iiib, the Imperial German Intelligence Service. Exactly which of them is a traitor to their country?
The Mayfair Ring
ISBN: 9798285767626
In 1941, the small counter-intelligence section known as RU40, run by Clarence Wilkinson, was instrumental in shutting down a German counterfeiting operation. Many in the intelligence service considered the case had been satisfactorily concluded, although it was never discovered exactly how instructions were passed between the German Abwehr and its agents in Britain. Wilkinson is determined to uncover the method employed and, with Jenny Matheson and Tom Adams, commences an investigation which takes them to the south coast of England.
During the course of the investigation, Jenny Matheson is subjected to attention of a romantic nature, which leads her to take extreme action as the only way to fend off the unwanted advances.
The third book in the Wilkinson at War series takes place in 1940s Britain and follows Clarence Wilkinson and Jenny Matheson as they examine the events unfolding on the Kentish coast with Britain facing the threat of invasion from enemy-occupied Europe.
Alternatively, if you enjoyed my earlier books featuring the husband and wife team of Anna and Martin Price, then this sixteenth Château Sarony novel is for you.
