The Workhouse Doctor
January 1843. Liddy Landser, heroine of The Surgeon's Apprentice, has returned to Bromsgrove in disgrace, to take up a position as schoolmistress at the local Workhouse. The position has been engineered for her by George Harcourt, Liddy's father's creditor, and a man entirely lacking in moral fibre, driven by his appetites. Harcourt has one ambition only: to possess Liddy, in body and spirit, and to see her family ruined. In the harsh environment of the Bromsgrove Workhouse, ruled over by the unscrupulous Melens, there is little to comfort Liddy. But she takes pleasure in her relationships with some of the children, especially little Katie Kennedy, and she resolves to see their wretched lot improve. Then there are the regular visits of the Workhouse Doctor, handsome James Kerr, who has made no secret of his attraction to Liddy, and who seems to her to embody all that is decent, honourable and kind in a cruel and unforgiving world...
Spec's War
This is the story of ""Spec"", a scruffy, bespectacled ten year old boy in a Midlands town experiencing the turmoil of the Second World War. It is about a world that has now totally disappeared. A world in which children were both actors and spectators in the life that pulsated around them in the streets, schools and homes of their towns, cities and villages. A life that they experienced first hand. It may seem that life was rough, hard and impoverished. But it was a life that bequeathed to its protagonists a brimming treasure chest of priceless memories...
Beau Specs
Sequel to "Spec's war".
Just River
The Otis, an inconsequential river-not the Hudson-flows through Wattsville, a small city a few hours north but a universe away from the real City, capital C. You might think the everyday people who live here, in this land of scarce opportunity, are also inconsequential. Until you meet them. Sam, a cross-dresser with a voice like Tina Turner's and his best friend Carol, a cashier who stress eats, prove their mettle when Carol's daughter Garnet is imprisoned for defending herself against a violent boyfriend. Sam and Carol's plots to save Garnet have consequences, however. An innocent boy is blamed for their actions and kidnapped, a dog gets poisoned, and Garnet's life is imperiled as parole becomes a distant dream. In the end, it's the river that offers up justice for these heroes-at-heart. But they will need to be able to swim.
