West Indies in England 2017

I was glad that the West Indies were not whitewashed on their recent three Test match tour of England. I don't think they'll be whitewashed in the One Day Internationals. For one thing  we've sent a much stronger team for this series.

Some pointers on Writing for Children

I was reading a book written by a educator. It was written from the point of view of a twelve year old boy. One of the things I noticed was his use of vocabulary. I thought he used some words that would not be in a twelve year old boy's vocabulary. We have to be careful that we don't go above the vocabulary of the point of view character.

ZOSOs 2

Z ones of Special Operations. Are they finding any guns and gunmen. Mind you I don't know the place. I think that our security forces must have the capacity to deal with more than one ZOSO at a time.

Undercover Soldier 3

So I've republished Undercover Soldier. I was wondering whether to call the story Undercover Fighter. It's on Amazon  Kindle. I invite readers to purchase this book at just $ 1.09. It's a good read. 

Zones of Secial Operations

Now that the government has declared the first Zone of Special Operations one is skeptical as to whether this new crime fighting measure will really work. It seems hard to believe that so many gunmen are walking around with high powered rifles These same gunmen confront the security forces in a shootout, escape with no casualty and live to fight another day. Why does this continue to be a recurring theme?

Uptown Lovers

Uptown Lovers is now revised and is available both as a kindle edition and paperback. I would encourage all my readers to get a copy. It's the whole saga of Stewart Brown and Morgana Simmonds. Some people might wonder why it's the man who is always the cheater and not the woman. Maybe I'll write a book where the woman is the cheater.
