The Causeway is now Available!

In both paperback and Kindle eBook formats, on both sides of the Atlantic, the sequel to Rachel's Shoe is finally available.

I very much hope you enjoy the story as it follows on from events at the shareholders' meeting in Munich, but soon returns to the Channel Islands.  This time, there is more of the story set in the islands of Alderney, Sark, Jersey, and of course my namesake; Lihou, as well as Guernsey and Herm.

Without wanting to give too much away, there is an unexpected twist which I hope will surprise and delight you!

You can follow the links on this page to find the paperback or Kindle versions at both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Other outlets around the world will be stocking in due course.

The worldwide collaboration project also concluded with the release earlier this month on Kindle of Passage to Redemption. Although the UK side of Amazon is not ready yet, the paperback or Kindle version can be purchased from Amazon.com. These, and other Acclaimed Books titles, can be found at www.acclaimedbooks.com/best. 

If you don't have a Kindle Reader, you can download some software to read Kindle books on your PC or Apple Mac. This should be on Amazon as well.

The next story now looms and I have already started working on it - watch this space for more details!

The sequel is now ready, just a few days to go!

All the files are edited and ready for publication so the book will be available on Amazon in just a few days.

The Causeway really is a family affair. Not only is part of the story set on Lihou Island, but the editing was done by my wife; who now runs a small business, editing books professionally. Gill has done a fantastic job and I'm very grateful to her, especially as she didn't charge me; although I suspect I'll pay in kind!

To top it all, my son is studying Graphic Design in preparation for University and he provided the cover photograph and design. You can see Sam's work for yourself above - pretty good eh?

As for the story, I really hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I will, of course, let you know as soon as it is actually available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk but as soon as it's listed, Amazon will be able to deliver. The other distribution channels around the world will follow shortly after.

I'm sixty this month so it's a great birthday treat to see the sequel to Rachel's Shoe finally released!

Now available on Kobo!

Good news for fans of Kobo, the platform independent ebook seller. Rachel's Shoe is now available for download internationally at www.kobobooks.com/ebook/Rachels-Shoe .

The Causeway is progressing well and on target for release this autumn. The story is even taking me by surprise as it unfolds before me. I always work to a plan but sometimes the book takes a life of its own!

The writer's proof copy of Passage to Redemption will also be available imminently.  As the authors are all around the world, we thought this would be a great way for them to carry out a final proof reading and the many fans of the project to get a limited circulation copy in advance of the main release. It will be on sale before the end of this month on Amazon.com.

Back to the keyboard now to find out what happens next in The Causeway!

Latest news on the sequel and progress on TV series

Guernsey is once again the main setting for the sequel to Rachel's Shoe although the other Channel Islands also get a look in! Without giving too much away, I can also reveal that my namesake 'Lihou Island' will feature in the story which takes it's name, The Causeway from the 'sometimes' island.


I'm currently working on Chapter 7 and making good progress now that I've given up the day job to focus on writing. The cover picture is still being worked on but should turn out quite similar to the image on the shown above. I had hoped to complete the sequel this summer and that may still be possible but I have a house move to deal with in the meantime so please bear with me, I will do my best!

This week script writer Ron Blicq is in Guernsey and we hope to finalise the first part of the TV screenplay for Rachel's Shoe before he returns to Canada. He has done a splendid job in bringing the characters to life in his interpretation of the novel.

Last week I was very pleased to meet two of my customers from Hungary, two from the USA and one from Scotland along with her husband. It is always a great pleasure to meet, share a coffee and converse with people who have enjoyed my novel and I would like to pass on my best wishes to them and say a big 'thank you' for looking me up.

Acclaimed Books Publishing has now taken over all the printing and distribution of Rachel's Shoe from Libros International (the former publisher) and will also publish The Causeway which will ensure the minimum delay once the manuscript is completed, in making it available through the usual outlets. Initially, this will be Amazon and by direct order from any book shop.

That's all for now, I'll keep you posted with the progress.
