The Simple Desire.

I do love new authors, but there is a great joy also in revisiting an old friend on the page, with that in mind, I have been dipping into Graham Greene's short stories, or as he often called them entertainments, and particularly 'May We Borrow Your Husband and Other Comedies of the Sexual Life.
This gave me cause for thought - '.....at the end of what is called the sexual life the only love which has lasted is the love that has accepted everything, every disappointment, every failure and every betrayal, which has accepted the sad fact that in the end there is no desire so deep as the simple desire for companionship.'

Behind the Walls - A new post-war novella

This week I’m happy to announce the publication of my novella Behind the Walls . It is about a canny, resourceful young Catholic boy, the girl he befriends and the courage they find to create a future of their own despite their personal difficulties and hardships. Behind the Walls is flavoured with an element of medieval mystery and is inspired by a rich sense of the past which still resonates in the streets surrounding Newcastle’s City Walls where I was born and brought up. Behind the Walls is currently on promotion with Amazon in paperback and Kindle versions and will shortly be available to order from bookshops. I hope you will enjoy and leave your review on Amazon.
