Lally Brown
Born in Yorkshire in the UK I migrated south to Surrey for my education and teenage years. Embracing the Swinging Sixties with naïve enthusiasm I left College and trekked overland to Israel. Working on a small kibbutz, I earned my keep driving a tractor and picking oranges, and managed to hitch-hike around the country visiting Haifa, Jerusalem and Acre. This amazing (and occasionally dangerous experience - I was abducted on one occasion and rescued by Israeli police!) was the spark that ignited my lifelong love of adventure and travel.
Later, a small village in West Sussex became the family ‘base camp’ for thirty years as my Engineer husband took us around the globe on British Government contracts. I have lost count of the number of homes I

John Donoghue
I never set out to be a writer… I wanted to be a sailor… and a soldier… and a policeman...so that's what I did.
Buy books on Amazon
I've travelled the world serving in the Royal Navy and then the British Army. When I left, I joined the police where I'm still a serving officer.
I soon found out in my varied careers that FACT is stranger then FICTION. I'd come across so many funny, bizarre and interesting tales that I felt it was a crime not to write them down... otherwise they just get forgotten.
So that's what I did and to date, I've have written four books based on my experiences...
The police books, in 'The True Story of a Front Line Officer' series include:
'Police, Crime & 999'
'Police, Lies & Alibis'
'Police, Arrests & Suspects'

If life deals you a bad hand, don’t fold, take a chance; a good player will always come out on top.

Craig Briggs was born on the 12th of July 1962, in St. Luke’s Hospital, Huddersfield, the second child, and only son, of Donald and Glenys Briggs. The birth of their daughter had been a joy. The arrival of Craig would make the family complete. Unfortunately, Craig was not a ‘normal’ lad; he’d been born with congenital feet deformities.
Unaware of his disability, Craig got on with life as any infant would. His first birthday brought a gift that would change his life forever. A marvel of modern engineering, manufactured by J.E. Hanger and Co. of London for and on behalf of the National Health Service. Bespoke footwear gave him what the Vespa had -

Terry Tyler
I am self-published with twenty-eight books on Amazon. My latest is Safe Zone, a dystopian/post-apocalyptic thriller. It follows on from the SFV-1 series (Infected, Darkness and Reset), but is completely stand-alone, so can be read as a story within itself.

Other recent releases include Where There's Doubt, a psychological drama about a romance scammer and his victims, and Megacity, the final part in the dystopian Operation Galton trilogy - the follow-up to Hope and Wasteland - and The Visitor, a post-apocalyptic murder mystery set in the same world as my Project Renova series, but a separate story, with new characters.
I'm a Walking Dead addict; I love watching great TV series, and reading anything to do with history, post apocalypse, dystop -

People and personalities have always fascinated me, and I studied psychology at Leicester University. Creating characters of my own in novels allows me to explore what it means to be human, in particular, what drives some people. I like to put characters in difficult situations where their morality is tested, and then add a twist.
In my early twenties I moved to Paris, where I enjoyed a career in teaching. Paris was in fact the city that inspired me to write, as I discovered its rich and troubled past, and I now -

Originally from Southport in England my wife, Paula, and I, lived and worked in the USA for 15 wonderful years, and then moved to Spain to enjoy a quiet life in the endless sunshine of the Mediterranean.
