Having a varied and colourful life, which as taken me into various sectors, including the military, goverment service and engineering jobs.
I have longed to write a book and decide while I was on leave from the offshore industry. I would commit myself to writing 3-4 hours a day. The best place I found to write was in my car, on my laptop. So I was seen in various locations throughout Leicester, UK, typing away, whatever the weather. (mostly winter).
Young Archie and the railway robbers, was a spin off from another book I was writing about Professor Archie Martin a deep sea explorer and treasure hunter.
Hope you enjoy the read. Looking forward to hearing from you.
The book is set in the 1950s, and based in a Staffordshire town. Young Archie Martin is a ten year old boy and an only child.
With his parents and their pet Welsh collie dog, Tam, they go on a visit to his Fathers friend’s house to help cut up a fallen tree. Going off looking for a sweet shop leads to a unexpected adventure and the capture of a criminal gang.
