I’ve been a published author since 1977. When I began, I was writing thrillers for grown-ups and you’ll find them on this site… but since 2007, I’ve been writing for children.

My best-known books are the Sebastian Darke adventures, which relate the tale of a hapless would-be jester and his miserable sidekick, Max. They have been translated into several languages and are read by children all around the world.

I also created the Alec Devlin mysteries, the dark and sometimes terrifying adventures of a fifteen-year-old archaeologist, with a knack for encountering danger and intrigue, wherever he goes. Each book concerns a different ancient civilization.

Most recently, I’ve embarked on the Movie Maniacs series. Have you ever wanted to be in the movies? Mr Lazarus, the new projectionist at the Paramount Picture Palace has found a way to put you there… quite literally.

More projects are on the way, so keep coming back – read my blog, send me a line to tell me what you thought about a book, or simply ask a question. I do my best to answer every message I receive!
