Tucker's Fyke

Gabriela, a product of the care system, is an independent and feisty young lady. She has a brief and innocent encounter with a complete stranger, during which she intuitively forms the opinion that this odd man is dangerous. She has absolutely no evidence, but she feels driven by her gut feeling to discover proof to substantiate her suspicions. This only serves to get her into trouble with the police for stalking, harassment, and theft. They treat her as a nuisance who suffers from delusions and, as far as possible, she is to be ignored and discouraged. However, her doggedness and determination drive her to persevere with her quest despite the opposition, only to succeed in putting her own life on the line. Can she be rescued? Or will she, in fact, become just one more hidden victim?

Those two initial novels whet his appetite, and he carried on writing and has written four more works of fiction, all heavily influenced by his understanding of the human psyche. He has a large family to whom he is very close, and he enjoys gardening, DIY, dancing and keeping fit. He is a compassionate ‘people person’, and has always taken a keen interest in behavioural psychology and relationships and currently works in the care industry.
