The Mallory Park Mystery

 Dragon 

                                                            Motorcycles 
Two of my passions are dragons and motorcycles.
The Mallory Park mystery involves a tee-shirt I bought from a charity store on eBay three years ago. I bought the shirt as it had images of motorcycle racers I related to from the late 70's, and to help the charity.
The mystery is I can't find it. I washed it, and put it in my room, but I haven't seen it since then, I know I haven't seen it for three years, as I lost it the year before my wife passed away.
My Charity work
For several years I was involved in wriitng stories for children's charities in the USA. My most prolific work was for the group known as the Peacock Writers, I have stories in several of their books. I also have a story in the anthology written for the Sandy Hook massacre, the book is  called Angels Cried.
I have stories in other anhologies, and I was offered the opportunity to write in more, but the projects didn't materialise.

Writing for Charity

Not all Projects came to fruition

                                                     An Invitation to Write for Charity 

When I had a reputation as a writer, I was invited to contribute a story to the charity book - Angels Cried - the proceeds went to support the families of the Sandy Hook Massacre.

I helped promote the book online for six months before leaving over a dispute with a German publisher. He came on the programme once he knew of its impact; this annoyed me, as we'd spent months promoting the book. Also, after this time, I thought the families should be left to grieve in peace, not keep having their distress forced on them.

I was asked by a charity that helps Armed Forces personnel recover from traumas of war to write about my time in the Royal Air Force - something I have been asked to do by several people - unfortunately, a lack of funds forced the closure of the project.
