What my books are about!

My first 40 books were mysteries.

They are centred around a young hero Joel Franklin and his wife Georgie and their family. Aside from the mysteries he is involved in there’s a family life where there are good times and bad times, funerals, diseases, dementia and cute little babies. Some wonderful moments and some terrible moments. These events move from book to book just as life goes on day by day.

My books reference events that are occurring in the world so course in the books written about 1939 and later the events of the WWII are hovering in the background.
