About
I studied Literature with Media at the North East Wales Institute (now Glyndwr University) in Wrexham in North Wales where I live and they gave me a lovely degree in 2000. I am married to a mental health nurse and have a son with autistic spectrum dissorder. I work at Coleg Lal (Yale College) Wrexham as a support worker for students with physical and learning difficulties. I am also the bassist with the rock band Green Eyed Monsterz.
I am also a self-published author of the paranormal tale 'Projector', and the madcap comedy Jurassic Jack books for children. Both ebooks are available from Kindle and Smashwords at a very reasonable price.
Fatal Rivalry: Part Three of The Last Great Saxon Earls
Description
<p>In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother?<br />The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.</p>
Story Behind The Book
The original idea came through a short story I wrote for my son when he was 8. Robin has autism and I thought as he was mad about dinosaurs and I loved my rock music that I would combine the two and see what happened. The book contains the same mad humour that we both share today.
Reviews
I read the first half dozen chapter and then realised I'm not 8-10. I love the inventiveness. Some of the one liners were genuinely funny and your irreverent use of characters is inspirational. But like I say, I'm not 8-10. Best of luck. Authonomy author.
