Welcome

Welcome to Peter Tickler’s Website. Peter’s first crime novel was published last November. As its title suggests, Blood in the Cowley Road is set in the back-streets of what he calls “real Oxford”, and was very well received, going into two reprints, and getting a lot of positive media feedback. 

Chris Williams, Oxford United F.C.

"Peter's novel is a fantastic read. It's refreshing to read an Oxford book which tells a gripping story from the Town point of view."

Andy Saxton, Perth, Australia

"I have to tell you I thought it was an absolutely marvelous read from start to finish!"

Susan Green, Burnley

"Right up there with the very best"

Peter has been writing for a number of years. The Modern Mercenary: Dog of War or Soldier and Honour? was published in 1987, and was a main Military Book Club selection both sides of the Atlantic. He has contributed to a variety of publications, including books on ski-ing and the Oxford Encyclopedia of History, and has written and broadcasted many Biblical dialogues on local BBC radio. For the present, however, murder is most definitely at the forefront of his mind!

Peter is finally publishing here on his website some of the many monologues written for BBC Radio Oxford, as well as some of his slightly off the wall "Biblical" sketches.

His latest appearance on BBC Radio Oxford (can one appear on the radio?) was however trying to explain how he combined his Christianity and his support of Oxford United. "I'm not sure if people were convinced, but the fact is that I saw Oxford beat York at Wembley later that day to gain promotion, so I guess that means something!?"
