His main and only series’ now are “The Nordic”, “The Paul Hawkinson Mysteries” and “Holy Moon”.
THE NORDIC
Taking place in the UK in a town called Sunbury,”The Nordic” is a story of William Davidson, who discovers his genetic make-up is far closer to those of the Nordic alilen race than anyone else’s
on Earth. Because of his near perfect DNA, he has been sought out and befriended by a liaison of the Nordics named Bertil, to mentor and prepare him for announcing the truth of human history on Earth and how we came to be. But first, William and Bertil must work together to find out what that true history is!
Beaten down constantly, William must persever through the annoying trials given to him by his political power-hungry aunt, out run the real Men in Black, as well as outhink, although sometimes ally with, the U.S. military who are trespassing on UK soil to keep William quiet about whatever truths he finds, and battle back nefarious aliens who also have reasons to keep William quiet, all the while somehow keeping his personal life somewhat balanced.
