It's not such a big step from pictures to writing.
And that's how it started out for me. I've illustrated more Western book covers than I care to mention and been doing it for a long time. No hardship, I hasten to add, I love the genre and have since a kid, although originally I made my name painting the cover art for other people, now at least, I manage to create covers for my own books.
A long-term closet writer, only comparatively recently, with a family grown and the availability of self-publishing have I managed to be able to write and get my stories out there.
As I did when illustrating, research counts a lot and has inspired many of my Westerns and Thrillers to have a basis in historical fact or at least weave their tale around the seeds of factual content.
Having such a visual background, mostly it's a matter of describing the pictures I see in my head and translating them to the written page. I guess that's why one of my early four-star reviewers described the book like a 'Western movie, fast paced and full of action.'
I enjoy writing them; I hope folks enjoy reading the results.
John Chayne is a hard man.
Trained by the best in the military, he has lost the woman he loves and is due for some solitude in his life. The ad offers just such employment. It reads, gardener-stroke-gamekeeper on a lonely estate in the wild Scottish Highlands. What could be more tranquil?
But his boss is an arms dealer with a beautiful wife and marital problems. An arms sale to a tyrannical African warlord is in the offing with a massive shipment of weapons. Flies gather around the honey pot, led by a terrorist group calling themselves The Besiff, who, like their name believe in doing things By The Sword.
But the CIA is watching in the guise of a man called Peak.
Chayne and Peak are soon caught in the crossfire between raging terrorists and crazed despot. To save the arms dealer's son Chayne must step outside the law and fall back on the shadow skills he hoped to leave behind forever.
From the war torn wastes of Africa to the desolation of the Saharan Desert deception and sex leave a bloody trail as a dangerous deadline draws nearer and a cargo worth its weight in gold is pursued.
