As an author I have published eight novels so far. Six were action-packed glam fiction blockbusters, my ‘sexy six-pack’ as I like to call it – for which I earned the title ‘the male Jackie Collins’ (the ultimate honour as she was my literary heroine). I’ve also published a gripping psychological thriller with a dark and dangerous twist and a crafty cosy-crime novel. My books have been given countless five-star reviews and been featured in many national publications.
To find out more about each of my books, take a read of their excerpts below.
