The Personal and Private Notebook of Kevin Jones (Age 15 ½)

We look over the shoulder of a fictional teenager as he confides his thoughts, feelings and personal struggles to his private notebook. Growing up in the modern world is not easy, but Kevin Jones tackles it with wit and energy. Between hilarious accidents, high drama, emotional revelations, political arguments and insightful reflections, there’s never a dull moment in Kevin’s company!

Beyond Belief: A Former Fundamentalist Examines the Case for God

Beyond Belief: A Former Fundamentalist Examines the Case for God

Tackling religious extremism leads us to ask important questions about what we really know and why we believe things. In particular, are there good reasons to believe in God? And is dogmatism ever justified? Exploring these questions doesn’t have to be nerdy! In this book it’s an entertaining, enlightening and very enjoyable conversation.

Stories That Reflect Real Life

My books reflect, directly or indirectly, my own life experiences – whether the heartaches of a teenager in love (as in Kevin’s notebook) or the struggles of a young person questioning his family’s faith (as in “Beyond Belief”). They also highlight a range of current social and political issues – from Brexit and immigration to homophobia and racism. Not all those issues directly affect my own life, but they certainly affect Kevin and his family and friends.

So, as you read my books, I hope you’ll find yourself absorbed and entertained but also stimulated to do some deeper thinking about those issues. Feel free to get back to me with your comments via the e-mail address for this website. I’ll look forward to hearing from you!
