Happy Easter from Symi Dream
Here’s wishing you a Happy Easter, if you celebrate it, or if you simply find yourself with some holiday time. I’m going to leave the blog for a few days and put my feet up, I’ll be back early next week.
Meanwhile, here are a few recent photos to keep you going and, if you’re short of something to read, then here are some ideas for you. To start you off, my novel, ‘Jason and the Sargonauts’ will be free on Amazon Kindle over the weekend. The link is below. Here’s the release:
Jason and the Sargonauts
‘Jason and the Sargonauts‘ will be free on Kindle over the Easter period – from April 14th for five days only.
Set on the Greek island of Symi, the story concerns a holiday rep, Jason, and his group of guests on their SARGO holiday. To keep his job, and stay on the island he loves so much, Jason must invent an excursion and sell it – and he must do it now. His grandmother, one of his guests, gives him an heirloom left to him by his grandfather who was on Symi during WWII. Inside, they find a musical treasure map that will lead them to ‘The Golden Fleece.’ But others have got wind of this and soon an old family feud is revived as Jason sets off, with his assortment of elderly guests, to track down the Fleece and unlock the mystery.
“This is Dan Brown meets Whitehall Farce with a bit of education about Symi’s history thrown in for good measure. Set on the Greek island of Symi, it’s a fast-paced whodunit with lots of laughs and loads of page turning moments. Yes, it was hard to put down.
This book deserves a large audience and stands up there with the best novels about contemporary Greece.”

Remotely
If you’re up for some comedy, then ‘Remotely; may appeal; to you. Here’s the blurb and the link.
‘Remotely‘ is a gay/straight body-swap comedy that pokes fun at British reality television.
Britain’s newest and most pointless TV talent competition is coming to Middlestone-On-Sea. ‘So You Think We’re Remotely Interested?‘ has taken Friday night viewers by storm as it streams live variety shows from remote, provincial theatres across Britain. The theatre with the most audience votes wins regeneration and revival, and lord knows, Middlestone-on-Sea needs both.
The dying seaside backwater rests its hopes on the performance of two ex-best friends, gay Gary and straight Stag.
The visiting celebrity judge, the mysterious and timeless Miss P, knows that for all to be well, they must mend their broken friendship. But there is no success without trial. She magically swaps Gary and Stag into each other’s bodies. Secrets are learned, comedy ensues, and yet the community remains divided.
Rifts must be healed, differences accepted, and bodies swapped back before the season grand finale in four days’ time otherwise Middlestone will lose everything.
“Once you start on James Collins’ coming of age, body-swap comedy, you won’t be remotely interested in putting it down.” G. J. Mugwatch MP
