Hi. That's me below, posing beneath The Great Orme, a huge limestone headland in North-Wales.
My debut psychological thriller THE GREAT ORME is out now and I want to ask you from the bottom of my dark Welsh heart to pick it up and join me on the ride/slide🖤

Zach is haunted by
The Great Orme

There may be only one way to dispel the ghosts
... He must confess

But his friends don't want to.
They want to fight for their freedom.

With Halloween approaching why not get bitten and become smitten by The Great Orme?

Ready to emerge!
Here's to a great weekend!

October season...
Take a chance on my dark thriller The Great Orme...

This isn’t a rescue mission. It’s a descent, haunted by ghosts, and drowned in guilt. The deeper Zach goes, the clearer it becomes: no one escapes the justice of the Great Orme.

Lovely walk around Brereton Lake today. No fairies seen hiding beneath these beauties.
