Peter Hawthorn series

Just got some more of the audio from Peter Hawthorn Belfast Bound, WHAT a difference listening to your work come to life; now I understand why people prefer to go for audio books.
I was a bit skeptical about audio books verses print or e-book and wondered if I was making the right decision. I joined ACX and read up on all I could, I even went on ask Jeeves and yes ask Jeeves does still exist! to try to understand if audio was popular and to my surprise yes it is.
Audio has been out there for decades but its only been in the last few years that it has taken off and become popular mainly due to today’s electronic devices.
So why the big wow factor of audio….Simple , its easier than reading as most people prefer to listen to a book rather than read it and the benefits are they can multitask whilst they listen, in today’s modern society we are all busier in our lives and reading takes time and concentration , time we don’t have. Audio is easy to listen to and it can be listened almost anywhere, in the car at home ect.
Will I give up on e-books and printed books?
No ! There are still die hard readers who like to hold a book and read but the world of a soft or hard back copy is shrinking although I don’t think it will ever fully be tossed into the trash can. I will continue to turn my books into print and e-book but my main focus is going to be swayed into the audio world.
I found a professional Producer/ Narrator through ACX (Christopher Hogan) and I must say he has impressed me greatly. I am completely blown away to hear my work come to life, I fully recommend any author take the audio route. Peter Hawthorn Belfast Bound will be available on audio sometime after January 31st 2019.
Christopher will then be working on Peter Hawthorn Alaska Incident and then Peter Hawthorn Kuwait into the fires of hell.
I will let you know when these audio books are available ðŸ™‚ 
If you still prefer paperback all three books of the series are available on Amazon, visit my author page at

Mankind intelligent or dumbest animal on the planet?

Humankind by our own standards;we are intelligent resourceful and adaptable but are we really? I was just reading an article on MSN about global warming and frankly it is scary to think we could become extinct through our own endeavors. We like to think that evolution has given us the intelligence and tools to thrive in this world but in reality we are as fragile as the natural world around us. We like to think like the fictional series of Star trek that mankind can come together as one learning together to better the race as a whole... but in reality we are far from such a bonding. The scientist say we have until 2030 to begin to turn things around after that it will be more difficult or worse too late. Species of this planet already on the verge of extinction will be gone and other species will follow. By 2100 most if not all species of insect will be extinct which will definitely lead to our own extinction, Why? Insects are the key element and vital to plants around the wor

Man in the woods short story

THE MAN IN THE WOODS The small town of Pembroke was a sleepy little hollow in the southern state of Virginia, population no more than 25ooo people. Surrounded by woods on three sides and old mine workings to the west of the town, it was one of those out of way places that you only see in those mystery or horror movies. A boom town in its day, full of Business on Main Street doing well and everyone was trying to make a buck. That all changed with the crash of 2008 its wooden shacks and shingled roofs fell into disrepair, the dwellings of most poor folks since the mines shut down and work became scarce, people had to scrape a living best they could.  The few businesses that remained on main street where few and limited but they kept the heart of the town alive, barely scraping by themselves, but if folk needed food and couldn’t afford it Mr. Laker the General store owner let folks get what they needed on the tab. He was just that kind of a guy like most folks of Pembroke, They
