Welcome to Coastal Crimes & Stories
If you’re new here, this is a good place to begin.
I write about people, places and the stories that stay with us — from life in Pembrokeshire and memories gathered over the years, to crime, mystery, children’s adventures and the occasional journey further afield.
Some of it is true. Some of it isn’t. And sometimes the line between the two is rather less obvious than it ought to be.
Below are a few stories to get you started.
Woman at the Window
A quiet street. A familiar window. And something that doesn’t quite make sense. A short story about what we notice, what we assume — and what might be happening behind closed doors.
Welcome to the Beautiful Chaos
A summer’s day in Saundersfoot, when the village I know and love collides with the annual invasion of visitors. Affectionate, observant and just a little bit wicked.
Secrets Behind the Front Door
Behind every front door is a story. After more than forty years as an estate agent in Pembrokeshire, I discovered that some were funny, some touching — and some were best kept secret.
For Young Readers
My children’s stories combine adventure, mystery and a little local history. Meet Tom, Megan and Rhys — three friends whose secret den in Saundersfoot Harbour leads them into a mystery involving stolen jewels, hidden clues and secrets from the village’s past.
