Bishop Farthing
BISHOP FARTHING is a very funny, touching story of how two singletons find love during the lockdown imposed by Covid 19 restrictions. It also covers the stories of many other inhabitants of this imaginary Dorset village, who react in many different and often hilarious ways to the restrictions they find themselves under. From Martha the religious zealot; Grumbleton, the over amorous elderly landowner; to the zealous ex-policeman, we meet and share their triumphs and misfortunes.
Each one of these characters - and many others - impinge in some way on the 'struggling to get going' relationship between Beth and Peter - the two central characters.
You will find this the most unusual love story you have ever read and the funniest story about a pandemic ever written - almost certainly!
Don't Go Down To The Woods
The first of the Detective Inspector Jones mysteries! A
quiet Dorset village (somewhere near here!) is thrown
into panic when two lovers strolling through the bluebell
wood happen upon a body...!
So begins a murder investigation with more twists and
turns than Dorset's roads...
And D.I. Ken Jones finds himself untangling a web of evil
- sex trafficking, drugs, money laundering and murder -
as he struggles to bring the guilty to justice.
And he battles problems of his own as he stumbles along
the rocky road to love. Sheila, the attractive pathologist
who is helping on the case, seems to be in love with him -
but she has a secret that could lead to heartbreak!
So sit back and brace yourself.
There's a corpse lying amongst the bluebells.
And a mystery to solve...
Death In Retreat

A baby has been taken. A distraught mother is heartbroken. Where is the baby? Why would anyone take her? And what possible connection could there be with a group of
local children, playing together in the garden?
But is everything as it seems? And are women safe – even from the police who are there to protect them?

Death or Dishonour
Join Detective Inspector Ken Jones as he struggles to unravel another mystery! The bones of a child found buried in the garden of an old Dorset cottage are not as ancient as he was first told.

How did they get there? Who killed them – and why? What horrors were enacted in this quiet and beautiful part of Dorset?
DI Jones has problems of his own as he wrestles with his love life. But these fade as he unearths terrible truths – young people running drugs as part of a county lines operation that stretches from London, across Dorset all the way to Bristol; forced marriage; female genital mutilation; misogyny in his own force… This is a story that brings you face to face with issues that too many young people today have to
endure, but their suffering can so often go unseen!
A masterly tale, told with wit and perception!

The Woman Who Wanted To Change The World!
Once in a generation, a book comes along that will change the way people think. That will challenge established beliefs.
A new prophet is amongst us. Unlike all others, she is a young woman, almost blind. She has a vision and is told to write a new sacred book: one that will combine all that is true and good in the ancient texts that support the main religions of the world and bring them together under God.
She must rid them of the misogyny; the acceptance of slavery; and the contempt for the poor that makes them unacceptable to modern thought - and to God.
She must find a writer to help her complete the task. She is drawn to David, a young journalist struggling to find work. She begins to explain to him the enormity of the task. He agrees to help.
But the forces of evil lie in wait, wanting all to be damned, and attempt to tear them apart. David is a man and does not have Rachel's total commitment to the task. He is tempted away: by offers of wealth; of fame; of unlimited sexual gratification. Rachel fears she has lost him. But he returns...
Only to find, in a terrifying conclusion, that he must choose between the path of Holiness and the life of his young and only son.
This is a controversial story. It will shock. It challenges much that has been believed for centuries. But ultimately it is pro-faith. It seeks to bring all religions together in harmony and, ultimately, bring peace and spiritual redemption to a world increasing beset by materialism, discord, anger and selfishness. It is timeless. It will resonate through centuries to come.
A woman wants to change the world for the better. This is her story. It is yours to read – and wonder…
