The E-books ... so far
"Maisie Pops" is a true story.
In fact, it took me more than ten years to transcribe and elaborate upon my late mother's often sketchy journal notes, but "Maisie Pops" was finally published as an e-book in 2013. It has been selling steadily in the UK ever since and, along the way, it has (thus far) picked-up 23 five star and 9 four star Amazon customer reviews

THE TRUE STORY CONTINUES ... "More Maisie Pops" is now on the Amazon Kindle e-book shelves. It picks-up where "Maisie Pops" left-off and, thanks to her diary entries; transcribed and elaborated upon from memory by her son David (aka Lewis Adler), faithfully records the true life highs and lows of May Faulkner-Lowe from 1965 to her passing in 1990. From the joy of the births of new grandchildren, to the heartbreaking loss of her husband and other loved ones. From exciting new horizons explored and adventures experienced, to the sadness of a failed marriage very close to home. From the delight in new relationships and friendships, to the despair of estrangement from some of those she loved the most. And from an active social life, to the shocking and inexorable decline in her health. Much, much more than any soap opera: every event in "More Maisie Pops" actually happened. Indeed, May Faulkner-Lowe was a very real, single-minded Cockney Londoner who had a compelling, and occasionally deeply moving story to tell. Here's a link:-

I carried the seeds of the "Redeeming Factor" story in my head for more than twelve years, but I couldn't think of a meaningful ending. Then, on January 30, 2008, a friend told me to begin the book anyway, "Because an ending may very well occur to you, once you've started writing," she said.
My friend was right! One evening about a month later, I was washing-up the dinner plates and saucepans when, out of the blue, the most wonderful ending popped into my head.
It took me nine months to the day to complete the "Redeeming Factor" first draft. I began writing on January 31, 2008 and finished on October 31, 2008. If anyone was to ask me to sum-up the paranormal story line in one sentence, I would have to say ... "It attempts to drag the maxim of 'love your enemy' into the deeply troubled 21st Century."
