Hi readers and friends — wishing you all a fantastic 2026.

If you’re looking for a gripping new read to kick off the year, and you enjoy military action, espionage, and high-stakes adventure, my latest novel is now available for pre-order on Amazon.

This book is the next instalment in the Tommy Henshaw trilogy, and it’s been an absolute joy to write. As always, it’s set against a rich historical backdrop, this time in the closing years of the late 1980s. While it’s firmly a work of fiction, the plotlines and characters may feel strikingly familiar to anyone who served in the military or police during that era.

In book two, Tommy and his life partner, Jane, once again find themselves on the front line — but this time the game is deadlier than ever. Jane, an exceptional agent handler, is now embedded within MI6’s newest covert operations unit: The Increment, tasked with missions far too sensitive for official channels.

Their first overseas assignment plunges them into a tangled conspiracy linking Colombia’s FARC rebels, the Provisional IRA, and ETA, the Basque separatist group. As if that weren’t dangerous enough, London gangsters are circling the chaos, eager to profit from the booming cocaine trade.

Every faction seeks power through disorder:
• FARC crave expertise
• The IRA hunger for stolen Stinger missiles
• Pablo Escobar’s Medellín Cartel and London’s criminal “faces” see fortune in the crossfire

Caught in this labyrinth of deceit, violence, and betrayal, Tommy and Jane must balance duty against desire, loyalty against love.

A Conspiracy of Shadows explores the cost of secrets — and the brutal price of survival in a world without mercy.

Thank you, as always, for your support.
