Epitaph for Brezhnev
Contained within the numerous items on display at the DDR Museum in Berlin is a brief though detailed account of a 1980 initiative on the part of the East German Politburo whereby the objective of this initiative was the seizure, by force, of West Berlin. Although the East German leader Erich Honecker and his colleagues in government were serious as regards to their incorporating West Berlin into East Germany, the Soviet Union, at that time, did not share the East German enthusiasm, due to the potential impact any invasion of West Berlin might have had on the Moscow Olympics and also because Brezhnev was conscious of Soviet presence in Afghanistan.However, two years later, with Leonid Brezhnev close to death, there are shenanigans afoot involving his would-be successors. One of the gambits is a plan by Yuri Andropov to resurrect the Erich Honecker initiative and deliver West Berlin for the Warsaw Pact. How would the West respond if this audacious Andropov power grab strategy was put into practice?

Erif the Helpful Dragon
The summer seemed like it would never end, it had been a few weeks of blistering heat.
Flame didn’t do much except try and keep out of the sun and keep cool. She went through the bare trees onto the dry grasslands. She sneezed and let a small fire out of her large nostrils… oh my goodness! Quickly the fire caught the grass, help she thought. She raised herself into the air in panic and shot her fire high. She could see Erif over on Nezca.
What was wrong over on Egar? thought Erif, but he knew; he could see the smoke!
Erif quickly flew over to the flame. Oh dear, he had to think and think fast. He could see the fire might spread in time and destroy Egar.
He needed help, they all did, Erif knew there was only one thing he could do…

Evolution: The Pattern
The origin of life is the fusion of two slightly different halves: fusion-fission, fusion-fission, fusion-fission… the rhythm of Life. In the beginning of all beginnings, an energetic proton and neutral neutron had fused into one whole. On planet Earth, the fusion took monumental proportions until the mating ritual has reached the highest conceivable degree. Love has a power to create life but also has a power to destroy it if its integrity is violated. Psychopath-men attack women, psychopath-women attack own children while breast, prostate and colorectal carcinomas are responsible for more than 20% human deaths whose incidence in great apes is less than 2%. Are humans on the decline? To find out this we have to unravel the mystery of the origin of life. Only if the sequence of the events in the story of life is correct, a pattern will emerge.

Evolving Perspectives
This book has been split into three separate parts. You can read each part as a separate book. They can also be read in any order.
These parts share characters and events, so after reading one part, you will find additional insights and perspectives in the other parts. The order you choose to read the parts will produce slightly different results regarding how you will feel about the events that unfold.
The book is designed to be an easy entertaining read filled with interesting well drawn characters. I have tried to include a real sense of place for the two principal cities in which the book is set: Brighton, UK, and Sydney, Australia.
The three parts are as follows:
Connect – A cyber-thriller based on what happens to a woman who has her Facebook account hijacked and enters the world of hackers and the Dark Web to try and find who did it and get revenge.
One for You – A comedy romance that follows a group of single people who sign up to a speed dating event to find their perfect partner. Some of the dates that result from the event lead to true love, but others provide hilarious results.
Only Hope – A morality tale about a man who pins all his future dreams in life on winning the lottery. Has he wasted his life waiting for something that will never happen, or will he win and be happy as he always hoped?
