Smallbrook

The year is 1916. Nathan Holt, a soldier wounded on the battlefields of France, returns to the village of his youth whilst recovering. Jenny Tiley is a young woman struggling to keep her farm, having been widowed. Their paths cross as they struggle to adjust to the effect The Great War has had on them. But are they able to find happiness?

I was born in 1957 of Welsh parents and grew up in rural Wiltshire in England, but in early 2014, moved to Herefordshire, near the town of books, Hay-on-Wye. I have two lovely daughters and an exceptionally gorgeous grand-daughter. My working career - real work, that is - has seen me battle for many years with computers as an IT specialist and system designer, before moving on to become a professional musician - did I say ’real work’? This was followed by a rewarding period as a school bus escort for special needs children. I then made a reluctant return to the nine to five world as a consultant and office manager in a recruitment agency. Despite all this, writing has always been my passion and I like nothing more than to be left alone with a pencil, a notebook and a cup of coffee. I have two books available on Kindle: ’Smallbrook’ my first novel, is set in rural England during the First World War, and has received good reviews from readers. My second book is a more contemporary thriller called ’Greenhill, ’ which I hope people will also enjoy. I also have more ideas and projects that I’m working on.
