A CONVENIENT TRAITOR - Book 2
​
Isaac Jackson gets more than he bargained for when he approaches a
local spa and wellness centre offering to teach tai chi classes.
Right place, wrong time.
Under suspicion of involvement in the death of a middle-ranking
civil servant accused of selling secrets to a foreign power, he has to
rely on his former roles in the Royal Military Police and as a Customs
Investigator, to clear his name, while negotiating the secretive world
of government bureaucracy... and avoiding a killer.

KILLING WATERS - Book 1
​
All former undercover HM Customs investigator Isaac Jackson wants
to do look after a gym and canal boat owned by an army buddy. But a
series of bodies found along the canal throws him into the middle of a
web of people trafficking, corruption, forced labour and a high-level
government defence contract scam.
Jackson is reluctant to get involved. But when a friend in the boating
community is murdered, and the signs point towards a corrupt developer
and a gang of traffickers, he finds walking away is not an option. ​​​​​​


A selection of short fiction on Kindle only
For many years I wrote short stories while trying to get the elusive book deal. Mainly crime fiction, of course, which is what I
always wanted to write, but also a market I hadn't planned on writing for - women's magazines. It was the biggest market available
for a struggling writer at the time, so I gave it a go. And that was where I really began to learn the trade of being a writer; of
writing to a word count, of always meeting deadlines and writing for a market that had fairly strict demands on content.
​
In the end, however, crime fiction won out.
