Welcome to my blog








Welcome to my blog.

Although still working for a living I have plenty of spare time and energy. What do to with it I pondered for a while? It's too hot to work out here in Thailand where I now live, and I don't like alcohol enough to become an expert drinker (although I admit to trying occasionally).

Become a writer I mused. Why not? Sounds easy enough, but where to start? All the good advice says to write about something you're passionate about. OK here goes - I love movies, reading, travel, music, the internet, TV, blah, blah, etc. etc.

What about gangsters and bad guys I hear you ask? Yep, love them, so I'll write about those and see
if anybody likes my stories.

I hope you do :-)

My short stories are intended to move along rapidly with fast talking characters, plenty of action and fun to read.

There's no over the top violence and blood letting, (plenty of murders though), there's a sprinkling of mild profanity commonly used in those times and there's no sex. Lots of  "dames and "molls" of course, so imagination will have to come in to play - hope that doesn't disappoint.

You could safely leave this open on your Kindle and not worry if one of the kids picked it up.

Thanks for taking a look at my books, and if you decide to buy any, I hope you enjoy your brief visit to a bygone era of American crime.

Volume 3 contains:

"Pretty Boy" Floyd - The Baby Faced Killer

When the gates of the Missouri State Penitentiary clanged open one day in March 1929, out stepped a handsome 22 year old guy who vowed never to return. Under the nick name of "Pretty Boy" he carved himself a blood spattered career which electrified America and could only end one way.

Jack "Legs" Diamond

Brought up in the misery and squalor of Hell's Kitchen, Jack "Legs" Diamond became one of ganglands most ruthless and vicious members and for a while led what seemed a charmed life - all bad things come to an end though....

Waxey Gordon

Petty thief, hoodlum, pickpocket, he started life as plain Irving Wexler, but as "Waxey Gordon" climbed the ranks of thugdom to become king of New Yorks underworld. His ambiton and greed attracted the attention of the same guys who brought Capone to justice - no contest.

Machine Gun Kelly

Easy going George thought he was doing OK, but the fateful night in 1927 he met Kathy Shannon changed his future for ever. Her ambition and goading, plus her idea to arm him with the gun he was named after, took them from bootlegging to bank robbery, kidnapping and life in jail.

Volume 3 is available on Kindle now:
