  Two detectives made into scapegoats for other people’s failings get one last chance in a small Hampshire town. But no matter how tough things get, they never lose their sense of humour . . . 
   
  Disgraced Detective Dave Slater is stuck on gardening leave, down in the quiet Hampshire town of Tinton, with just one last chance to redeem himself. 
   
  He must search for mousy young journalist Ruth Thornhill. Months ago, she vanished from her home, her London job, her life. But the Met don’t want to know. 
   
  Now Slater’s boss slips him the file, asking him to investigate discreetly, with the help of an unlikely new assistant. Bedraggled fifty-something Detective Norman Norman. 
   
  Norman may not be the fittest or the strongest. And, lord knows, he’s not the youngest. But he knows how to use his head and follow his instincts. And he might just be the ally that Slater needs. 
   
  The deeper Slater digs into the missing woman’s many secrets, the more he realizes, someone out there doesn’t want her found. 
   
  And they’ll stop at nothing to keep Slater from the truth. 
   
  The answers they want might just be all wrapped up in an old roll of carpet . . . 
   
  This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

  What Life Can Bring is three connected science fiction stories that revolve around my fascination with time.  
    
  The first story “The Journey Home” opens with a handsome, tattooed young man who goes by the nickname “Poly” being released from jail on a beautiful August day in 1994. Poly has high hopes for a fresh start, but he’s not able to find a job. Struggling to make ends meet and keep a roof over his head, Poly can find only one option: to join up with his old crew in a bank heist. Things don’t go entirely to plan, but he manages to meet some kind people along the way.  
    
  The second story “Within Matter” is set in the present day and starts with a group of graduate students celebrating a discovery of a lifetime: a new form of matter that could potentially solve the Earth’s energy crisis. But when a sinister group of wealthy and powerful elites find out about it, the graduate students are placed in mortal danger. One of the students, Stephan, experiences a psychotic break, which he assumes is due simply to life stress. But his whole understanding of himself and the world is upended after he receives a letter.  
    
  The third story “96 Hours” refers to an attack by thousands of spaceships that kills half the world’s population. A small settlement of scientists on Mars have their communications knocked out after the attack, and they imagine another world war must have happened. Survivors on Earth believe the attack is an alien invasion. Two teenagers, a brother and sister, must try to stand up against the attackers.  
    
  What Life Can Bring was written on an antique Olympia analog typewriter. I find the analog experience helps me put thought behind every word. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did creating them.
