Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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

    A amusing amuse-bouche entry in the Rags-to-Riches series. More of a house hunting TV show, then an actual story.

    Rags and friends visits several possible venues, Rags gives his opinion, the couple decides.

    On this thin framework, Mr Bun does give us good conversation, humor and a quick look into Rags' past.

    There is no need to have read any of the other books or stories in the series.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant interlude

    This story is a pleasant interlude on the road to riches. I felt that whilst advancing the series, it left me disappointed at it's shortness. I felt slightly cheated.
