I write long and short fiction, and some comedy material. Joffe Books publishes my Thomas Bladen spy thrillers and Detective Craig Wild crime mysteries. I’ve also self-published two novels. My short stories have appeared in several anthologies and are now published together as Into the Void. I’ve written comedy material for greetings cards, radio and live performance.
