    He founded Tennyson Suite over 15 years ago, spearheading its direction and growth, until in 2019, when he took a back step to let the younger generation lead from the front, so that he can immerse himself into the exciting world of fictional writing.  Now working part-time, he would like to expand on his writing journey.

    In late 2020, he outlined six storylines for the Fox and Bennett Thriller series, the first entitled The Heroes being completed by the end of that year.  He applied to a number of publishers, having been pursuaded to by one of his colleagues and in 2021, an international publisher took on his manuscript.

    Spring 1968
    Formerly inseparable, five boys, known affectionately as the 'The Heroes'. all of them eight years of age, school together, play together and explore together. One day in the spring term, one of them dies suddenly, in the arms of his teacher and their Headmaster goes missing without a trace.

    May 2019
    Fifty years later, local private investigators, Robert Fox and Rosemary Bennett are engaged by the dead boy's sister to find out if the headmaster is still alive, because he may hold the key as to why her brother, Derek, died.
    Everyone says that he died of natural causes, but the boy's sister believes it is something more sinister.

    The two private investigators seek out the four remaining boys and their teacher, to help them in their quest for the truth about what happened to her brother and of the headmaster's disappearance.
    But they are not the only ones seeking them out.

    The boys each have held a chilling secret, and someone wants to keep it that way, no matter what it takes.
    Will Fox and Bennett find out what the boys know before someone else does?
