Coming Soon – The Goat Parva Murders

My first five books comprised three sets of travel stories, one collection of fictional British Traditions, and one collection of fictional world sports.

The three books of travel stories are entitled

Julian’s Journeys

Ten Traveller’s Tales

Travel Tales from Exotic Places like Salford

The book of traditions is entitled 40 Humourous British Traditions and the book of sports is called Sports the Olympics Forgot.

I am delighted to say that my sixth book “The Goat Parva Murders” will be available in a week’s time. It’s a murder/mystery with a sense of humour set in the fictional English hamlet of Goat Parva.

Goat Parva is situated near the real English city of Leicester, where the skeleton of King Richard III was recently found under a car park. The name Goat Parva was inspired by the actual village of Sheepy Parva near Market Bosworth, where Richard III met his end in 1485. As is the way with history, it has recently been proved that Richard didn’t die on Ambion Hill near the village of Sutton Cheney – where the Battle of Bosworth visitor centre has been built – but rather that he perished about a mile to the south-west, in a field close to a village called Dadlington.

People in Goat Parva are also dying in the fields and woods around the hamlet and Inspector Colin Knowles has to find out who is committing these crimes.
