very pleased to have news of you after you left for london years ago; and all because your son is a friend of my son in law Trevor Johnston . delighted that you are a published author, I still have your first book on my shelves.i obtained one of your later books and enjoyed it so will be reading all the others.
a little about me. Pleased to retire in 1993 because NCC had lost the plot and care management as I knew it had been abandoned. we moved to Kent 2 years ago when my eldest daughter Helen gave me my first grandchild at last! poor James was diagnosed with leukemia at the same time but is now happily in remission. Trevor and Alison’s baby is due any day now.-bliss.
I still keep in touch with friends from the office and meet for lunch when I go back to Kettering.
Congratulations Gretta and may you have much success with your literary career. regards

Hi Gretta, I’m currently reading Tyrone Swift #3 and very curious as to how Emlyn Taylor became Emlyn Williams? In books #1 & #2 he was Emlyn Taylor and now in book 3 you refer to him as Emlyn Williams. Can you explain?! I’m really enjoying the books 😁

I am pleased that I scrolled all the way down to the bottom of this page as now I realise that #8 in the Tyrone Swift series is underway; too many loose ends in his life at the end of #7, with Branna, Ruth, the appeal and so on; besides, you need to find Ty a nice lady friend he can settle down with. Loved the previous 7 books and will keep an eye out for #8. I will look at your other books when I have worked my way through the backlog on my Kindle.

Are you planning more books with Tyrone Swift. The last book I read was Murder in Pembrokeshire. I really love the character of Ty Swift and can only hope that in your next book you will give him a sweet love interest that would be good for him and a good mother figure for Branna. I hate how Ruth and Marcel are rude always seem to steamroll over Ty’s parenting rights. I’ve really enjoyed this series and hope to see more of Ty Swift.
