I created this website hoping that aspiring writers may find it helpful. It will also feature some of my own writing.
I claim no expertise in writing or assistance but decided to log the sites I found useful in my journey to become a published author. Maybe you will,too. If you are a poet or aspiring author, then please see the News for Writers page for a list of publishers and publications seeking submissions. This page will also contain writing competitions.
I’ve also listed some of my favourite books to read and I hope you find some of these interesting.
If you are looking for a source of books that isn’t Amazon, then please have a look at my BOOKSHOP.ORG affiliate page. Between ten and thirty percent of each purchase on this site goes to independent book sellers.

The Sun Sets on the West series – Read here
This is a story of life in the UK, Europe and America after a disputed American presidential election. While America falls into anarchy, BBC reporter Jane Clark has to contend with the erosion of democracy in the UK.
At first, her interest in the changes is entirely professional, but when her brother, Duncan, gets drawn in, she has decisions to make.
The three novels in this series cover the ramifications in the UK mainly, but I have included the USA backstory below as a free story. (I am adding more to the story regularly.)
Background
An election is unresolved. Both sides claim victory. Will the dispute end on the streets?
A Squad of Royal Navy Marines are visiting New York as trouble breaks out. Can’t they get back to their carrier safely?
Characters
Zoe and Kit are in a relationship that will be divided by events out with their control.
Maria had a fling a year back. She loves her husband, Karl, but can’t get Jon, her one night stand out of her head. A cross country trip home to Karl doesn’t work out as desired and now she’s adrift on the front lines of the second civil war.
