ABOUT ME
One day, when I was in primary school, our form teacher asked the class to write a short story and present it the following day. So began my love of writing.
THE CONLAN CHRONICLES
Let Shadows Fall
8 Paraffin Alley
Sparrows in the Rain
The Conlan Chronicles comprise a trio of books set in the 1980’s. Each is a stand alone novel featuring Eddie Conlan and Joanna and their friend Warren Fisher.
In spring 1985 ‘Let Shadows Fall’, set in England and the USA, sees Eddie Conlan and Joanna Brooks meeting in extenuating circumstances where they face constant danger. In South Dakota, at Conlan Farm, Warren, a young and immature Pennington County deputy, makes a less than impressive debut.
Fast forward a few months to Autumn ‘85 for ‘8 Paraffin Alley’, set mainly in North West England and a little back in South Dakota. Eddie and Joanna are in England for a wedding. Her ex is there; David Phillips, a manipulative bully, now stealing from Iris, a naive young woman who’s in love with him. Warren takes Iris under his wing but Iris has plans to punish those she believes have betrayed her.
Four years later, in ‘Sparrows In The Rain’, Warren is turning thirty and casually dating Maddeson; rich, beautiful, sassy but troubled. Joanna and Eddie hire a young woman, Penny, to assist in Joanna’s business. Warren falls for Penny and this triggers a chain of events that no-one could have predicted.
