The Time-Travelling Estate Agent
In December 2019, in a small Welsh town, 60-year-old estate agent Eric Meek discovers a house with an extraordinary secret: a garage containing a functioning space-time portal. The portal connects 2019 to 3 July 1976, the pivotal day when Eric was sixteen and his life took a dramatic turn. Given the chance to revisit his past, Eric hopes to correct mistakes that shaped his future. As he travels between decades, he becomes entangled in a long-forgotten missing persons case and seeks to help those he loves, including his deceased father. Ultimately, Eric must confront whether changing the past will truly improve his life – or transform him instead.
The Time-Travelling Estate Agent 2
The second installment of The Time-Travelling Estate Agent sees Eric Meek return to the past with a new purpose. Picking up where the first book ended, Eric once again travels from the present to the long, hot summer of 1976. This time, his mission requires more than a brief visit: he must live in the past, finding a job and a place to stay while continuing his investigation into the mysterious death of The Faith. Along the way, Eric encounters a host of memorable new characters and reunites with familiar faces. As he immerses himself in 1976, Eric must confront unexpected discoveries that could alter everything he thought he was searching for.
The Honey Peach Affair
A casual drink with Britain’s most famous adult entertainment star sparks the extraordinary adventure of film reviewer Bruce Baker. When the star mysteriously disappears, her sister enlists Bruce to help uncover the truth, dragging the cautious, law-abiding journalist into a dangerous world of criminals, intimidation, and moral compromise. As Bruce racks up offences that would shame a hardened outlaw, he must also contend with a hostile boss eager to fire him. Along the way, he becomes an unlikely ally to a passionate anti-porn campaigner, accidentally thrusting her cause into the national spotlight. The journey leads Bruce to an explosive journalistic revelation – one he never wanted to write.
From Sex Shops To Supermarkets
This non-fiction title chronicles the phenomenal growth of the adult toy sector in the 21st century, and details how mainstream television, cinema, and celebrities have rushed to embrace it. Peppered with exclusive interviews and unique insights, From Sex Shops to Supermarkets features many of the industry’s milestone moments, including the consumer electronics giant that launched its own sex toy, the private prosecution that could have threatened the Ann Summers business model, and the great jiggle ball shortage of 2012. (What? You don’t remember the great jiggle ball shortage of 2012?) The book also explains how Lovehoney used clever PR to build its business and reveals the strategies behind some of its most successful campaigns.
For one brief moment on one brief day, The Time-Travelling Estate Agent topped two of its Amazon category charts – hey, we take our wins where we find them!
Reviews of The Time-Travelling Estate Agent
I came across this book via a news article online. Feeling homesick and knowing this book was based in Cwmbran, I decided to get on Amazon and read a sample. I liked it very much and so I bought the book (and the second in the series).
I’ve just finished this one and I love it. The subject matter, the characters, the story itself, all well-written and presented with humour. You don’t need to be familiar with Cwmbran to enjoy reading this book as the story is so entertaining.
It kept me engaged throughout and I found myself eager to return home so I could get the kettle on and settle in for more reading. Now, time to find out what happened to ‘the band’ in The Time-Travelling Estate Agent 2.

Amusing and interesting piece of genre fiction, this silky piece of prose feels like a rich, indulgent Sunday evening in the 70s, black forest gateau. Following in the footsteps of Adrian Cousins and Keith Pearson, this treads similar ground, but stands very much on its own. An interesting storyline, a neat hook on the whole time travel device, but which felt fresh and unique, a few twists along the way, all added to the nonsense and fun. Really hope to read more from the author.

Such a delightful book and wonderful characters you really feel invested in! As a fan of the 90s series Goodnight Sweetheart, the title drew me in. Who doesn’t love a time travelling hero. Eric the hero of the book isn’t quite lovable but you do root for him all the way through! Highly recommend for those looking for something different. A bit of fun but also endearing and sincere. I can imagine this as a tv series too!
