A Backward Glance

A Backward Glance

Welcome to my website and thank you for visiting!

If you’ve found your way here, the chances are you’ve met me already through my work. You might have read a novel, or heard me read a story, or seen something I posted (a relatively rare event). In the real world, you might bump into me on my way to choir practice, or mooching round an exhibition, or a garden. Let’s just get those first introduction questions out of the way. Do I sell millions? No. Do I write series? No. Murder mysteries, whodunnits? Not my bag. Romance? Um… not really… there’s love, but… nothing with pink roses on the cover. Funny stories? Sometimes, but they’re deadly serious.

I just keep stubbornly writing about things that delight or confuse or worry me or that make me laugh. There’s a great deal of beauty in the world and its people. And a wonderful music in the many ways we talk.

Where do you like to buy books, and where can you get mine?

 All my paperbacks are printed on demand, so whilst they may take a couple of weeks to arrive, they’re never out of stock. They can be ordered 

  • from your local independent bookshop, quoting the ISBN number
  • from the publisher (Ah But Books), using the button on the book page of this site
  • from Amazon, using the button on the book page of this site
  • from other online retailers

E books and mp3 audio files  come directly from me, via the button on the book page.

There’s also a button to guide you to other audio platforms/apps where you can grab my audio stories.
