I started writing books after I lost my darling wife to cancer in August 2023. I was always interested in writing books, but I never had the time to do so. My wife, Jean, encouraged me to start writing before she passed away. My first book was THE LEEDS MURDERS, a fascinating murder book with a surprise ending, and very interesting also for lovers of cricket. I also wrote CRUISING WITH TONY AND JEAN, telling the story of our wonderful life together. The first writing I did was a song for children called JESUS IS MY FRIEND, which is featured in THE ADVENTURES OF TOMMY AND OSKIE. This is a story all children will love; it is about a boy called Tommy and his adventures with his dog called Oskie.
