Following the 9 Album theme: these are nine albums I bought as a teenager/very young man that have stayed with me all these years.

Temporary change of venue for pre-match drinks: doctor’s orders. Let’s hope it doesn’t jinx the home form.

Sadly my wife couldn’t understand my excitement at finding these in the loft.

Now Playing: Rust Never Sleeps. My favourite Neil Young album. (For today, anyway!)

A brilliant evening spent with Jon Anderson. At times it was simply transcendent.

I am reliably informed that it was 43 years ago today that I was watching Marillion perform at the 1983 Reading Festival. And I can still remember the excitement when they took to the stage and opened with Grendel - all 18 minutes of it.

The books that every coffee table needs! The complete Inspector Page series is available from Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats and can be read on KindleUnlimited. ***** The hero Bristol didn’t know it needed *****

Stephen Cook @porthcawlgas.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

A quick break from working on the new novel and it seemed the ideal time to remind the world that the Inspector Page series is still available from Amazon (in both paperback and Kindle formats).

Stephen Cook @porthcawlgas.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Always enjoy a trip to Bradford-on-Avon. Today it’s been delivering books to the Ex Libris bookshop in The Shambles. All three volumes of the Inspector Page series now in stock. Can you find them all?

A kind hand helping Jim Page over the pedestrian crossing at Shinjuku train station in downtown Tokyo.

Forget Jim Bergerac and Jersey, say hello to Jim Page on Guernsey…

Stephen Cook @porthcawlgas.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Jim Page spotted last night at the Hickory Shack, Simon’s Town (Cape Town). Looking very laid back, I must say.

Stephen Cook @porthcawlgas.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

Somebody has enjoyed the Inspector Page series! If you like crime and detective stories then you might enjoy these Bristol-based novels too.

Jim has made it to New Zealand. No real ale tonight but apparently the local gin is very good.

Who knew Jim Page was so big in the Tyrol? Another reader has taken him away on holiday - this time to solve not one but two cases!

Stephen Cook @porthcawlgas.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

A Kindle version of Truth Or Lies has made its way to the Austrian Tyrol. Obviously there’s no better way to spend a few days than reading in the Alps.

When, for the first time, you spot the full set of Inspector Page novels out in the wild. Something every bookshelf needs - or so I would suggest.

The first Amazon rating for the new Inspector Page novel has appeared: and it’s a perfect FIVE!

After two full days of amendments and revisions the new Inspector Page novel is now winging its way to the design and typesetting team. How exciting!!

Have received the manuscript of the new Inspector Page novel back from the proof reader so today will mainly be spent correcting and revising. #TruthOrLies #InspectorPage #ComingSoon

Stephen Cook @porthcawlgas.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

A big thank you to everyone who has bought the Inspector Page novels. If you have enjoyed reading them look out for the next instalment ‘Truth or Lies’, due to be published February / March 2026. If you’ve not met DI Jim Page yet, both novels are still available from Amazon.

Stephen Cook @porthcawlgas.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

The good news is that the first two Inspector Page novels are still available from Amazon - but in other news…
