About the author

I was born in London, lived most of my life in the south of England. I only say that to excuse writing with a Sarff Lundin accint.
After a lifetime of not knowing what to do, RAF Officer, TV delivery driver, medical rep, trainer, computer guy … I'd even spent three summers running a naturist resort in Portugal. I decided to try something new and retired.
Lying by the pool in the South of France, a story started to take shape in my mind. Then the days got shorter, and the evenings longer, and I started to type. The string of random words turned into “The Uncovered Policeman.” Writing this story, I met the central characters, Bea being the most important. She nagged me into telling what turned into a series of 12 light, cosy romances with a cast of pleasant happy people, with quirky characters.
The New House trilogy, about a couple's first year of retirement in France, followed. “Almost a Year in Occitanie” - No, it is not autobiographical. OK, not very autobiographical.
More recently, Crooke and Loch launch their careers, solving mysteries and crimes in “The Summer of '71” and in a series of follow-up stories spanning the 1970s.
2020 marked the debut of another character … Melody. A lady of a certain age, a generous size and blinding intelligence, who first appears in "Problems and Passions."
The darkness of the great lockdown inspired some darker tales, for example "After The Event." As well as a few more escapist ones, such as "When The Music Stops" featuring the delightful Juliet Evans the singing solicitor

- Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2017The two endings was a neat idea.A I love the relaxed philosophy of the regular characters.The irony is also rather clever.I'll leave to the reader to figure that one out.Good supplement to the main series.Great job,Ted!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2017Okay intro to earlier books.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2019Like the double ending.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2017This story is sets itself apart from the other stories. The rewind gives the story an interesting twist. This story is about Sylvia and Barry. Is it a preclude to the next book in the series?

5.0 out of 5 stars Introducing friends to nudity.
Nice concise short story answering a lot of the questions people could ask about nudist clubs or camps.
As always an excellent read.
