Thanks readers.

A reviewer on Amazon's UK site has given my novel Pelican - Escape or Die a five star review, and has described the story in an email to me as "fantastic". http://tinyurl.com/a7aokvy
And a reviewer on the Barnes and Noble website has given my novel The Curse a four star review and said he "really enjoyed this story." (He also said the ending could have been better done, and so I have now rewritten the ending.)   http://tinyurl.com/apaqnoh

A detective story set on the French Riviera - one of my most favourite parts of the world - and a part of the world I have visited many times - featuring the freewheeling and free loving French detective Pierre Labbac, who investigates a murder on board the luxuxry yacht Pharaoh and peels back the veneer on the high life of the Cote d'Azur to reveal the reality of what goes on underneath.http://tinyurl.com/aer54te

Title Change


I felt my original title for this work (Pelican) did not convey the true drama of the story, so I have changed it to the above. Pelican still plays a crucial part in the plot.  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Escape-or-Die-ebook/dp/B0067M89DA/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1343840243&sr=1-1

Boats

I have always preferred the designs of forty or fifty years ago to those of today. Here's one from the board of the great naval architects Sparkman and Stephens. Salmagal III. I think she's my current favourite.http://sparkmanstephens.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/design-1476-salmagal-iii.html

Gibraltar.1997.

Gibraltar

I've now published my latest novel on Amazon.

 

Carla and the Black Door Club is set in London (and is not suitable for persons under eighteen years of age).http://www.amazon.co.uk/Carla-Black-Door-Club-ebook/dp/B0088PLUPS/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1338886442&sr=1-1-spell  In this novel, a very attractive, but strait laced, city professional finds a visit to a mysterious London club a life-changing experience.  

This is a companion piece to my novel: Jenny's first visit to Doctor Widmark. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jennys-First-Doctor-Widmark-ebook/dp/B005TWKL5S/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1338887849&sr=1-1  The two stories are, however, quite different.

London Blackfriars.

I had lunch in The Blackfriar pub in London on Saturday the 30th March, and was served by a very attractive black-haired young lady. I wonder who she was.
