"The Organisation is a fantasy set in a make-believe world of wooden sailing ships, horse-drawn carriages and soldiers in red tunics and tall hats. Although it is a fairy tale it contains no magic or talking animals and is not meant for young children. It is intended for grown-ups, particularly ones with inquiring interests in a wide range of contentious issues.
A gold storage business is transformed into a very profitable bank when its owners find they can create paper money, and issue loans, without the need to back all their banknotes with gold. It transforms Areho into a flourishing kingdom. An association dedicated to protecting business interests is formed. To help obscure it from the public the association is not given a name, although to members of its innermost circles it is known as 'The Organisation'. By secretly infiltrating all centres of power and influence, including the monarchy and the news media, 'The Organisation' fulfils its goal, but astute members of its inner circles realise that the economic system they have created has a requirement of its own. It is an issue they cannot ignore.

"A gripping PREQUEL to the Excalibur Rising Series.It's 13th century England and the only hope for the people is that a long lost legendary sword appears and saves them from a tyrant king.King John of England fights for his throne while Athelstane, a Saxon stable boy, fights for his freedom.
Sapling, a mysterious young lady, tells Athelstane that Excalibur, the legendary sword, will buy his passage to her magical, all-female, world of Avilion. The one condition is that Athelstane has to steal England's most heavily guarded treasure from England's most evil king. This is where the Excalibur Rising saga begins."
"The Secret of Chimneys
A young drifter finds more than he bargained for when he agrees to deliver a parcel to an English country house. Little did Anthony Cade suspect that a simple errand on behalf of a friend would make him the centrepiece of a murderous international conspiracy. Someone would stop at nothing to prevent the monarchy being restored in faraway Herzoslovakia.
The combined forces of Scotland Yard and the French Surete can do no better than go in circles – until the final murder at Chimneys, the great country estate that yields up an amazing secret.
The Secret of Chimneys marks the first appearance of Inspector Battle and was the last book to be published by Bodley Head, thus fulfilling the terms of Agatha Christie's six book option. While Inspector Battle would only appear in a further four novels, Collins (later HarperCollins) would remain Christie's publisher for the rest of her life. Her new agent Edmund Cork of Hughes Massie had negotiated much more favourable terms with Collins (a £200 advance per title for the next three books). John Lane, then publisher at Bodley Head, had replied that if anyone wished to pay that much for Christie's novels, they were welcome to her.
A thick fog of mystery, cross purposes, and romance, which leads up to a most unexpected and highly satisfactory ending.
Times Literary Supplement
The Secret of Chimneys was adapted by Christie as a stage play in 1931 but its planned performance was mysteriously cancelled. Its world premiere was at the Vertigo Theatre in Calgary, Canada in 2003 when the artistic director John-Paul Fischback 'discovered' the manuscript deposited at The British Library over 70 years earlier. It was filmed with the addition of Julia McKenzie as Miss Marple and with multiple plot changes by ITV in 2009."
"NUMBER TEN
Unknown forces create terrorist attacks across the UK, and then attempt to assassinate radical new British Prime Minister, James Torrence. A bright young member of the PM’s staff, Paul Gunter, is arrested by MI5 and finds himself falsely implicated in the assassination attempt. He has to fight for his life against all the powerful involved parties, using his inside knowledge of Downing Street processes, and the reluctant help of senior staff member, Andrea Holt, to extricate himself.
Suspense, romance, and high action ranging across modern London’s extraordinary cityscape and beyond.

Amazon 5 star review extracts -
“This is a blinder from Robin Hawdon. It actually felt as though it was me hurtling through this harrowing adventure in the madness which is 21st century Britain.”
“It must surely be made into a TV series. Better than 'The Bodyguard' “
“I never can resist a book that involves my ex work, some are good, this was outstanding, with a fabulous twist at the end.” Book Mark, top 500 Amazon Reviewer
“Wow! Number Ten begins in explosive fashion and maintains a high-octane, fast pace until the very last word. A glorious thriller that kept me enthralled throughout... Would make the most fabulous television series.' Linda Hill, top 500 Amazon Reviewer

"An anthology of short stories and poetry.
This book is a collection of short stories and poetry written while engaged in a writers' group in Camden, New South Wales. While the stories are both fictional there are few that are from the actual life of the writer and presented here for the readers' enjoyment.
Which is imaginary and which is true will be up to the reader to determine."
