I have just finished reading Phyllis Wong and the lure of the lighthouse.
If ever an author should be cloned, it’s Geoffrey McSkimming. His books are a masterclass in story-telling. He manages to put three-dimensional characters in jeopardy while solving mind-boggling mysteries and keeping his tongue in his cheek as he does it.
I have read the whole series. If you like family-friendly books that have a good mystery and take you on a romp at the same time, I think you will enjoy these. You will find them on Amazon.

It doesn’t matter how many books I publish, it still feels surreal to hold my own book in my hand.

I am thrilled to announce that Deepseek – Pleonexia is now available! This is a cautionary tale of undersea mining that threatens the very existence of underwater marine life.
Cameron Straker fights to stop the systematic destruction but is faced with a corporate mentality of pleonexia --- corporate greed at any cost.
Can Straker and the Deepseek crew stop the mining before marine life is exterminated forever?

Filled with plenty of action, mystery and excitement!

Available as print and ebook on Amazon and Google Play Books.

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2026 delivers everything you’re hoping for.

I’m giving thanks for God’s goodness over the past year. I thank Him for every book sale I’ve had.
To my fellow authors, I wish you all the best and success in 2026. Even when things feel tough and sales are slow, and discouragement knocks at the door—never give up.

I'm pressing on with Deepseek 5, scheduled to launch on Amazon and Google Play Books in the coming months.

Here’s a little something for older writers.
Can you remember the first mechanical device on which you wrote?
The Olivetti was bought by my dad in 1980 for his use, but it quickly found a new home under my bed. I hammered out a lot of short stories on that.
Then, in 1987, I purchased this Canon Typestar 5, which was like something out of a sci-fi series.
I could type an entire sentence in the little window and check my spelling before printing. No more liquid paper!
After years of churning out more stories, I began using Windows 95 word processors.
What was the first mechanical device you used?
