Julian Worker

I was born in Leicester. I attended school in Yorkshire and University in Liverpool. I have been to 93 countries and territories including The Balkans and Armenia in 2015, France and Slovakia in 2016, and some of the Greek Islands in 2017. My sense of humour is distilled from The Goons, Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, and Midsomer Murders. I love being creative in my writing and I love writing about travelling. My next books are a travel book about Greece and a novel inspired by Brexit.

Strange Groups

Strange Groups

This excerpt is from the book entitled 40 Strange Groups. Little is known about them, hence the shortness of the book and the low price. ============================== On 5th December 1872, the ship Dei Gratia was about 400 miles east of the Azores, when crew members spotted a ship adrift in the choppy seas. Capt. David […]

She’s Coming For You – Chapter 4

Pat Walker sat in her seat and watched the world go by. Fields the colour of lightly toasted bread, haystacks, power lines, low scrubland and villages on hillsides were all becoming more of a blur as the train picked up speed, leaving the traffic on the road in its wake. Tractors came and went and […]

Hunting the hunters

Hunting the hunters

Trophy Hunting is upsetting. I wish someone would hunt these trophy hunters and poachers. I don’t have the courage to do this myself. Luckily, as a writer I can create a character who does do this. This book called She’s Coming For You details such a person. And the book is available at a special low […]

British Eccentricity

British Eccentricity

England has many strange, yet real, traditions such as Bog Snorkelling,  Bonfire Night,  Cheese Rolling Haxey Hood. For less than $1 you can read This book  which describes 40 made-up traditions in a similar vein to the real ones. All the stories are distinct and can be read independently; this is a book for the busy […]

She’s Coming For You – Chapter 3

Four hundred and eighty-eight miles south-east of Pamplona, a small freighter, a little over 10,000 tons, was leaving a north-African port and heading towards the Straits of Gibraltar, with its final destination the north-west of Spain. The crew of ten were hired because they knew the fishing areas of the eastern Atlantic and because of […]

Killing Animals

Killing Animals

Trophy Hunting is upsetting. The fact that there are people who gain pleasure from killing a sentient being from a cowardly distance. I wish someone would hunt these trophy hunters and poachers. I don’t have the courage to do this myself. Luckily, as a writer I can create a character who does do this. This book […]
