ANGENGA
Angenga Angenga is a novel that combines 21st century quantum physics with Anglo-Saxon England in the Viking times. Travel back to the ninth century. Praise: ★★★★★ - "A great romp through a time vortex into Anglo-Saxon Lincolnshire. Loved it." ★★★★★ - "I love the blend of Sci-Fi and Historical Fiction this novel offers. It’s a time-travel novel, but the settings and lifestyle of the time period our main character, Rick, finds himself in, feel real and well-researched. Highly recommended." ★★★★★ - "A sympathetic, convincing portrayal of this neglected period in history." |

When Rick Hughes receives a relic as a gift from an old friend, he has no idea what he's getting himself into. Drawn to an old excavation site, Rick stumbles upon a portal that takes him back to the 8th century, in the middle of a Viking invasion.
After discovering a shocking link to the present, Rick is determined to intervene and save the village from devastation - and to find a scientific explanation for what is happening.
With the perils of 8th century England surrounding him, can Rick save his new friends and live to tell the tale?
WHIRLIGIG
Whirligig, a fantasy novel for all ages. Be drawn into the rotating vortex of time in a parallel universe where Poverty leads to Effort then to Success. See below the elfin maiden Success as conceived by artist Karen Heywood when the heroes of the story, Adam and Emily burn thorns on a fairy hill in the Land of Poverty. Find out how the cycle leads them to Wealth, Pride and Strife before plunging them into War and back to Poverty. Throughout their contact with otherworldly creatures, their indomitable but flawed humanity shines through. Whirligig was published in February 2021.
When the veil is thinnest, an ancient book of fairy lore acts as a bridge between two worlds.
After young Emily finds an old book of fairy lore at an antiques fair, she discovers that it has instructions on how to enter the Other World. Together with her brother Adam, they step into the Whirligig: an unending carousel of states that govern the world.
A realm filled with elves, hobgoblins and pixies, the Whirligig is at once strikingly different and eerily similar to our own. Facing challenges that change their lives forever, can Emily and Adam rise to the occasion and return back home?

Murder mysteries, Fantasy and Sci-fi
In 2021 I decided to take a break from my preferred Anglo-Saxon genre of historical novels. This decision came about partly to freshen up and partly to enjoy a new challenge. This led to the emergence of a new series: The Vance and Shepherd Mysteries. Vance and Shepherd are successful Metropolitan police officers: a Detective Inspector and his sergeant. A serial killer sets them the most severe challenge of their career to date in Book 1 The Quasimodo Killings.
This page will be dedicated to the other books in the series, but also to other genres, for example, my newly contracted sci-fi novel, The Remnant, published in February 2022. The Vance and Shepherd Mystery Book 2, titled The London Tram Murders is due to be published. Currently I'm working on a new historical novel about Vikings.

Detective Inspectors Vance and Shepherd reunite in the second book in John Broughton's Vance And Shepherd Mysteries. After a murder is committed in a quiet suburban subway under a tramline, it becomes obvious that the murder squad is dealing with a copycat killer.
The murder is an uncanny repeat of their previous case, and their inquiries are complicated by the presence of the main suspect’s doppelganger, Melanie Bradshaw. The brilliant chemistry master student has solid alibis but Shepherd, flying in the face of the contrary evidence, is convinced that the deceased serial killer's sister and Melanie are the same person. As the killings continue, Vance and Shepherd face increasing pressure from above building. Can they apprehend and bring the killer to justice before more lives are lost? |
