Proposal ~ A Short Story

Proposal The station clock hanging from the wrought iron roof brace seems to have stopped. The dark hands and black numerals of the Victorian timepiece fade behind a grey mist swirling in from the sea. I squint to bring the numbers into focus. Less than three minutes to go. Come on, John. Breathe. She’ll be here in a minute. Jayne called earlier, when the train left Euston, so I know she’s aboard. All I can do is wait and hope I can hold myself together until she arrives. The tension hurts like a knife thrust through my stomach, but all [...]

Chameau’s Tale ~ A Short Story

Here's a bit of nonsense for your delectation.  This was the first story I ever posted on the Interweb, back in 2012. Hope you like it.   Pierre Chameau stared up at the half-painted ceiling with resignation. His wife—‘she’—was right, as usual. He never finished anything and he wouldn’t be finishing the ceiling any time soon. Damn it, what a waste of space he was. Chameau had never believed in fate, but the final straw had been waiting for him all bloody day, which had started gently enough, with a stroll down to the shops for groceries and a stop [...]

The Wanderer Returns

Hi guys, 2016 already? How the heck did that happen? It seems as though we were only celebrating the New Millennium a couple of years ago. Time marches, nay, sprints along. Jan and I, the wanderer, are safely home after our recent 16-hour journey (drive-ferry-drive) from Cheshire (UK) to Brittany (France). A kindly neighbour lit our paraffin heater a couple of hours before our return so at least the temperature in our front room had crawled above freezing point. The rest of the house though, was Arctic. From the above, you may have gathered that we don’t have central heating here in the [...]

“Friday-Fortnight” Interview with Tom Ericson

“Friday-Fortnight” Interview with Tom Ericson Hi guys, How you all doing? I know, it’s been months since my last FFI and I have to apologise for my tardiness. No excuses, well, perhaps one. I’ve been finishing up my latest novel, On Lucky Shores, which is due for publication on 16th January, 2016, (but don’t worry, I’ll tell you all about it later). And with that shameless plug out of the way, let’s get on with the chat. Today, I’m talking with an old friend, Tom Ericson who’s written an excellent thriller … well, I’ll let [...]

Hey Jude — Welcome to the World

Hi guys, It’s been a while since I blogged. No excuses, I’ve been busy working on my latest novel, On Lucky Shores. It’s an adventure yarn set in the Colorado Rockies. Well, I finished the latest draft last Friday and sent the manuscript to my editor. Nothing I can do now but wait for her to hack it to pieces and return it (I can almost hear her cackling as she hits ‘send’). But more of that in another blog, this one’s about something completely different. Now, you know me, right? I’m a hard-arsed, insular, old-fashioned dude. I write crime [...]

“Friday-Fortnight” Interview with Effrosyni Moschoudi

“Friday-Fortnight” Interview with Effrosyni Moschoudi Hi guys, This week, I’m introducing, Effrosyni Mouschoudi. Welcome, Fros, how you doing today? EM: Really well, thanks. It’s great to see you at last. KJD: Thanks. Settle down, have a drink and tell me about Greece. I’ve never been but have always wanted to visit. Tell me, what’s the best thing about the place? EM: Easy. I live in a serene, seaside town an hour’s travelling distance from Athens. I get the best of both worlds, and I’ve been reaping the benefits since 2005 when I moved here. However, [...]

“Friday-Fortnight” Interview with Ashley Capes

“Friday-Fortnight” Interview with Ashley Capes Hi guys, Well, it’s been ages since the last FFI and I have to apologise to the authors lining up in the green room. Sorry guys. No real excuses, but apart from being a lazy sod, I’ve been really busy publishing the latest in the DCI Jones Casebook series, Sean Freeman. On that front, I have to say that I’ve been both staggered and delighted by the way the book has been received. Thanks to everyone who’s already bought a copy, and to those of you who’ve not yet acquired [...]
