About the Book:

Helen is religious and believes she committed a mortal sin when she became pregnant by Jeremy. Determined that their daughter Jane would never fall from grace, she vigorously disciplined her. Jane fled from home aged 18, and has since had no contact with her parents. Jeremy, a man at odds with the modern world, has failed to get any of his novels published. Still, he sets up a business advising aspiring novelists. When Helen is charged with assault, and one of Jeremy's clients knows more about him than he is aware, life changes irrevocably for them both. But is it for the better?

About the Author:

Richard Ayres lives in Staffordshire.  He worked in Further Education for thirty years before he took early retirement and began writing.

His first novel, 'A Pennine Incident' is a tense portrayal of a mystery in Martin's past and its effect on his life and relationships.  The main themes explored in the novel are the impact of a single traumatic event on the life of an individual, the fragility of friendship, the effects of ageing and changes in personality on relationships, and the impact of class origin and upbringing on later life, all played out in the seeming tranquillity of the Yorkshire Dales.

His second novel, 'The Further Education of Mike Carter' is a satire on life in a mythical Further Education College in the English midlands. The politics of the workplace are muddied by events in the personal lives of protagonists, and when sexual tension is added to the mix, the outcome is unpredictable.

His next novel, 'Letters and Secrets' involves three couples living in different parts of the country awaiting forthcoming celebrations with varying degrees of enthusiasm, hostility or indifference.

'Tired of London' was published in May 2016.  This is a story of six former friends, reunited after 40 years, who embark on an extended pub-crawl through central London. Their reunion is brought to an abrupt end by a series of incidents which threaten the hopes they had of reconnecting with the past and each other.
