“Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions.”

G. K. Chesterton 
English Writer (1874 - 1936)

This website contains a wealth of information about the four novels opposite, including why they were written and what people think about them. New content is added to the site on a regular basis.

I think it's only fair that I thank all the readers' who have sent me emails and have posted such positive reviews of The Whitechapel Murder Mystery on Amazon. I am astonished to get so many five star reviews for a novel I don't even consider to be my best work. For the record I think Fiddle of Rogues is a better novel. Writing a review does, however, take time and effort and it is not as easy as it looks to present your views in a couple of paragraphs. So, to everybody who took the time to write a review - thank you! (And that includes Michael and Rayne. See below.)

I was asked recently in which order should  these books be read? Now that all four novels opposite are available as competitively priced Kindle editions, some people are buying them and then wondering where to begin. If you start with The Whitechapel Murder Mystery, the second in the series is Seven Mile Avenue. If you start with The Lime Street Irregulars, the second in that series is A Fiddle of Rogues.

Most readers have understood The Lime Street Irregulars for what it is - unfortunately some haven't. Hello, Michael in St Albans. Firstly, it is taken from a true story and secondly, it is a spoof. It is not meant to be a blood and guts war story, nor a rip-off of Private Ryan. It's a send-up and the characters are, therefore, allowed to do daft things - like kidnapping Hitler. (At this point, Michael from St Albans lost the will to live, apparently. The delete button on a Kindle is in the Menu!) Strangely, the kidnapping of Hitler was one of the several true bits of the story. And the narrative is written by Jack, a poorly educated Scouser, and that, Rayne from England, is why he gets the German he's listening to wrong all the time. It's gobbledegook because it's being transcribed by a thick Liverpudlian who hasn't got a clue what he's talking about (no, not me!) I think I may have been too clever for my own good there.
