The Bermuda Triangle – Mystery or Muddy reporting?

Read some books on this subject and there is a huge mystery surrounding the triangle of ocean between Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda. Read others and it’s all a load of baloney! Who is right?

Oh no! The Monsters have done it again!

As you may know, I was kidnapped and trapped by monsters about 18 months ago and have been held captive in a cave ever since. Together with my seven fellow captives, I have attempted to blog my way to freedom, but to no avail. Now it seems the monsters have struck again. I discovered the [...]

The Devil’s Triangle – Book 1

Well, the first draft is complete and has been sent to my editor. I’m pretty pleased with it, but I have already identified some areas that are going to need more work before it will be ready to go to print. There are some interesting ideas that will be explored in this series. I hope [...]
