Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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

    The third story of this series.Fran and Jerry become more involved in their new community.They create some new traditions for themselves and the community as well.The story has a good mix of fun and humor as the main characters become valued community members.You'll have to read for specifics,but read the first two books so this read will be more enjoyable.

    Not as entertaining as the first two books in the series. Having said that, if you are extolling the virtues of a French, open air life-style, it's hard to make the autumn and winter entertaining. Nice try, but a bit dull. Nevermind, it will be summer again soon!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 25, 2019
    A lovable and well written book from an author who cares about the readers of his books by giving them a great story with easy to associate characters which is a work of art from a storyteller that is Ted Bun
