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

    Another great read. Rags and Bea keep the fun in life and make me, the reader, wish that somehow to be a part of their life experience. Can’t wait for this adventure to continue in the next story.

    This fourth book in the “Rags to Riches” series by Ted Bun has a pretty good story line. The story is a respectable length, keeping the reader from feeling as if it ends too soon, yet feeling that they want more. Although the story is good, I did find some grammatical slips, plus one major error. A bit of proof reading should have prevented what is either a missing chapter, or a duplication of one chapter. The major error is that chapter four (The Biggest Splash) is basically the exact same as chapter three (The Blue Sky Spa), I actually went back and compared the chapters, and the appear to be word for word, the same chapter, with different titles. Leaves me wondering if the book is missing a chapter, or if the book is shorter than anticipated. In any event, the story flow would be better if the error was fixed.
    *** I looked at buying the next book in the series (#5), but decided that $2.99 for a 67 page pamphlet is ridiculous.

    Events take an interesting turn in the life of the uncovered policeman. We know the direction of Bea's career, but what about Rags? What started as a theft investigation has brought about a dramatic career change. Great end to the four novellas, but not the end of the Rags to Riches series.

    I wish I could visit the south of France. Everything sounds very relaxing. I can relate to Rags in so many ways.
