Thanks for stopping by! I’m J—a retired soldier, software wrangler, pub landlord (briefly), and now, aspiring fiction writer. These days, I split my time between the high desert of New Mexico and the beaches of Baja California Sur, which sounds glamorous until the internet cuts out mid-sentence.
After a career that zigzagged from the British Army to computer training and web design, I’ve finally decided it’s time to commit some of the stories swirling around in my head to the page. I write cozy mysteries and police procedurals usually set in the charming (and occasionally murderous) English countryside—because nothing says “relaxing retirement” like plotting fictional crimes.
So, whether you’re here out of curiosity, a love of whodunits, or because you took a wrong turn on the internet, welcome. Grab a cuppa, meet the characters, and enjoy the ride!
