This chapter is going to be focused on written work and opinions.
Do you think there were lots of affairs during the second world war between Americans and French women? How many single French women had American fathered babies during occupation by the American and allied forces?

Do you think Jacques father was typical, in so much that he recognised his son and wanted to marry her?


How do you think Mr. Robson’s American family felt about Jacques? Did they welcome him with open arms?

Tell me what you think of the double agent Jacques.

If you are good at drawing I would love your picture of Jacques. If you are not good at drawing please tell me which actor would make a good Jacques?


I wish to thank all the people who have bought my book and apologise for not getting back to this blog until now. Actually I am writing the film script of my book.

It is Diana´s aniversary today, 12 years have gone by

Lady Diana Spencer had been on holiday in Sardinia with her boyfriend and was killed in a traffic accident in Paris. Or was she? Maybe there was a conspiracy, or more than one, to kill her or make her dissapear.To Bill Blaggott it was just another job.To Mr. Fye a member of MI5 it was an operation. To Jacqueline Bonhomie it was the start of a disasterous day.

I would like to join in with this tribute

http://vodpod.com/watch/268364-who-killed-princess-diana

Well if you want the answers to this mystery don´t miss my book. Read it to do the test.

Test- Where did you see Blaggot? Who was the man on the motorbike in the tunnel? Who do you think was in the white car?

If you manage to answer these questions I will give you a copy of my next book. Winsor Burning.

Welcome to my pre-release Thin Air site

This site is for all non-native English speakers who enjoy reading in English. I hope my book, Thin Air, will fill the gap for English students who want to read something more interesting than an article from a textbook. You will love the characters if you like to "get your teeth into"( an enjoyable challenge) a good mystery and, at the same time you can enjoy, once you have read the book, reading comprehension tests, grammar and writing, speaking and listening tests too.

Thin Air is about people who could have been, were, or were supposed to be, involved in the death of Lady Diana Spencer. All ficticious characters of course, but they make you think. Maybe this could have happened. I have included two glossaries, one at the end of part one, and the other at the end of part two.

First test-can anybody tell me the difference between something that could have happened and something that was supposed to happen?

Here is a preview of the book.

What did Jacqueline Bonhomnie, a pretty French nurse who works with the Ambulance team of the Pitie Salpetriere hospital in Paris, André Berquerel, a successful neuro surgeon, and Bill Blaggott, a ruthless mercenary have in common? Why did a French secret service agent feel the necessity to offer his British counterpart the name of an assassin as a special favour? How was Shakima, a notorious Arabic terrorist involved with any of these characters?
This easy reading book is ensured to entertain you and also help you to remember where you were what you were doing on the 30th of August 1997. The grief, anguish, doubts and accusations of the following days after the tragic event, which have still not cleared the mystery of that fatal night. A night meant for love not for death.
