About the author

I was born in London, lived most of my life in the south of England. I only say that to excuse writing with a Sarff Lundin accint.
After a lifetime of not knowing what to do, RAF Officer, TV delivery driver, medical rep, trainer, computer guy … I'd even spent three summers running a naturist resort in Portugal. I decided to try something new and retired.
Lying by the pool in the South of France, a story started to take shape in my mind. Then the days got shorter, and the evenings longer, and I started to type. The string of random words turned into “The Uncovered Policeman.” Writing this story, I met the central characters, Bea being the most important. She nagged me into telling what turned into a series of 12 light, cosy romances with a cast of pleasant happy people, with quirky characters.
The New House trilogy, about a couple's first year of retirement in France, followed. “Almost a Year in Occitanie” - No, it is not autobiographical. OK, not very autobiographical.
More recently, Crooke and Loch launch their careers, solving mysteries and crimes in “The Summer of '71” and in a series of follow-up stories spanning the 1970s.
2020 marked the debut of another character … Melody. A lady of a certain age, a generous size and blinding intelligence, who first appears in "Problems and Passions."
The darkness of the great lockdown inspired some darker tales, for example "After The Event." As well as a few more escapist ones, such as "When The Music Stops" featuring the delightful Juliet Evans the singing solicitor

- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2021Thanks, Ted, for the enjoyable story. The characters were relatable. The ending was surprising and a fun conclusion to the story.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2019Ted's story has definite character. It is structured well and has an O'Henry-like twist at the end. The plot is short and sweet and the theme is very appealing.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2019This was a short but pleasant read. For awhile, I thought the interview part was after the elevator got stuck, but I later realized it was a flashback even though the verbs remained in present tense. The whole thing could be adapted into a commercial for British Naturism.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020See above. Read in about five minutes. Not long enough to be called a short story. When I turned the page and got to see the author's other works, I thought I hadboughr
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2019Somehow the beginning of the story got messed up, which just may be my fault. I purchased a new tablet and need to get used to it. The book seemed to be a tad disjointed ,does that mean I my inept opening on the tablet is to blame? I kind of hope so. I have read some others by Ted Bun and he appears a good author. If one has a better system of has a more familiar system than I, the read should be delightful.😊 thanks, Let's

- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2019main objection I had to this story was it was so short, I was hoping for more or the author could write a sequel.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2019I would like to see this expanded to a full length novel.
I was enjoying the way the story was progressing, then it was over.
Short but very interesting!

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs to be longer
Good potential for an interesting longer story. Graphics could involve nude modeling preferably with the artist taking part during testing.
