Necklaces & Knickers

It was 1991 and John Raynor’s life was in a bit of a mess. At forty-six, two years after his divorce, he was living on his own and the future seemed bleak. And then there was Carole, a divorcee two years younger than him, and suddenly everything changed. Their bond was immediate and intense. The problem was that one day, Carole would need John, both physically and emotionally, the next, she would be secretive, cool and distant. To make things more difficult, John had been registered as blind since 1979; nevertheless, during the sixteen turbulent months chronicled within this book, he travelled to Paris, Amsterdam and Singapore and made many close female friends, but Carole had stolen his heart. This is the true account* of a sixteen-month relationship that changed John’s life dramatically. Look for the reason why this book is titled Necklaces & Knickers. It evokes great memories for the author. * Names have been changed to protect individuals’ true identities.

See All Evil

When British soldier, twenty-four year old Captain Alex McCloud is injured and blinded in Afghanistan during 2010, he is flown back to the U.K. for treatment at the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham. After a painful, slow recovery, during which his fiancé, Helen, ends their engagement, he is feeling angry and thoroughly dejected, with no possible hope for the future. A small ray of hope seems possible when he is offered the chance of sight using bionic implants, developed by Professor Goldman of Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, in conjunction with Augmented Reality specialist, Major Jennifer Sherlock of the C.I.A. These implants not only provide him with sight, but much, much more than he could ever have imagined or expected, proving to be of great interest both to the M.O.D. and the C.I.A. His new life as an intelligence officer based in London brings him many challenges utilising his unique abilities, particularly when he uncovers a highly dangerous mafia-like organisation.

Who Wants to Be British?

Following on from the turbulent events described in "A Chronicle of Intimacies," John Raynor's luck seemed, at last, to be turning in his favour. In January, 1993, he flew from Manchester to the Philippines to meet Aleth Ledres, a Filipina twenty-three years younger than him. The two have been writing for several months and, within a short space of time, they fell in love and their marriage was planned for April. Unfortunately, nothing was ever simple for John and Aleth as many problems seem to prevent them from enjoying a life together in the U.K. Cultural differences, the Catholic Church and British immigration officials all seemed destined to destroy any chance of future happiness. This true account of the couple's romantic adventures echoes The uncanny forecasts of the psychic's predictions.

Cocktales and Nibbles

Cocktales and Nibbles is a collection of twelve stories, ranging from the shortest such as ‘Lite in the Sky’, which was my first story written in 1973, to the lengthy ‘A Universal Threat’, written in 2017. The title of this book, Cocktales and Nibbles, is meant to signify the short stories as ‘Nibbles’, while the longer stories are representative of the ‘Cocktales’. Please forgive my change to the spelling of ‘Cocktails’ – this is how my mind works! These stories were written over a period of forty-four years, which includes the time to write and publish my six full-length novels and autobiographical works. I do hope that you enjoy these figments of my imagination. J. S. Raynor
