Mer information

I started writing my first novel, Columbus Day, over ten years ago, with the insane idea of supplementing my pension. I now know that was a pipe-dream, but I have learnt a lot along the way on this rocky road called publishing. It was a few years later I had another idea for a second book, The Letter, a light romantic adventure taking the main characters to Ireland, France, Spain and India.Some of my travel experiences are peppered in these books and like many authors we draw on our own experiences, and this is something I was only able to achieve in later life. I could never had written these novels in my twenties or thirties.Nothing Is Sacrosanct was my third novel, which takes on a much darker and dangerous theme than my first two romantic stories. It's a long complicated adventure spanning over five decades of a damaged boy from Austria at the end of the Second World WarNo One Is Sacrosanct, although not an official sequel, follows the original investigator and her husband out of retirement to solve what looks like the same MO of the main character in the preceding novel.Recently I published a children's novel, The Wrong Cheese, (8 - 11) partly for my grandchildren, when they can read for themselves, and partly to see if I could write at a different level. This is published under a pen name of David Morton.
