The Incredible Layla Moon
My latest novel ‘The Incredible Layla Moon’ is currently undergoing a complete rewrite. I’ll post an update as soon as it’s completed.
It’s a very black comedy, telling the outrageous story of Layla Lucrezia Moon, a highly intelligent, manipulative and charismatic child, whose origins are deeply enigmatic and mysterious.
It relates Layla’s life story from conception to adulthood and details her many trials and tribulations, as her unusual talents slowly emerge to affect all who surround her.
The book shines a humorous and penetrating light into many profane and sacred arenas, particularly, the worlds of education and religion. It’s modern morality tale, full of toe-curling immorality, which satirises the vanities of wealth, privilege and earthly ambition.
Subtitled ‘An Entertainment’ and definitely written for an adult and mature readership, it aims to divert and delight all those brave enough to enter Layla’s dark and demonic world.

Education, Edukation, Edukashun.
My first published book, Education, Edukation, Edukashun, is the story of a dysfunctional comprehensive school. It’s set in the fictional Welsh mining town of Abercwmtwerp, and tells the story of Dave Falconer, a teacher close to retirement, whose only wish is for his last few years teaching to be as trouble-free as possible.
Subtitled ‘An Entertainment,’ it leads the reader along the neglected corridors of Gruffud-ap-Cynan Comprehensive School, through the consequences of teaching young, inexperienced pupils the the values of sex education, the devastating repercussions of a too liberal selection process for work experience, and the disastrous consequences of staging a school prom in a luxury hotel, especially when combined with concealed alcohol and the rampant hormones of one-hundred-and-sixty teenagers.
