Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born in 1943 to a working class family with middle class aspirations, I began writing stories while at school, finally venturing into novels when I retired from teaching in 1997. The result was a series of mystery/thriller novels set in Australia and featuring two unorthodox investigators who work for the fictional Strange & Obscure Cases (SOC) Unit, an autonomous offshoot of ASIO.

When Evolved Publishing, an American company, showed enthusiasm for my stories, I was contracted to produce the first three novels in the series. Negotiations for a further three novels are in the works.

I am encouraged by positive feedback, at which time the words flow freely and usually reflect my bizarre sense of reality and weird humour. When my muse's ego is bruised, I bide my time, reworking old short stories into Sci-Fi novels and waiting for new ideas to evolve. The longest time I've gone without writing anything new has been eighteen months, but when the drought finally broke, the words flowed thick and fast.

Three times married with four children, I live in Morwell, Victoria, Australia.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting thriller based on some real events

This is the second book in a trilogy involving Agents Martin and Claire. It starts off at a rollicking pace. Two abductions, a murder, a rape and we are introduced to a very unsavory character Herrick and his twisted past. The author sets the book before the events leading up to 9/11 so the plot has international twists as well as local historical events. His research is up to par with the first book in terms of the music, attitudes, cars and social mores. He also uses the area he grew up in as the background to his story.There are some really exciting scenes such as the shark attack. Herrick is an unusual bad guy in that he is a billionaire who does his own dirty deeds and in his own houses. This can lead to a gap in the story, as he does everything to expand his business, including killing, yet risks losing it all by leaving enough evidence that points to him, even though he escapes It is a wonder that the whole local and international security forces have not invaded his houses. Why would a billionaire risk a rape at the end? A potentially dramatic scene on a plane when the Jihadists are intent to do damage on an international scale, peters when they then lose focus to rape an air hostess. Then there is the means of bringing down the plane.
However there are enough twists to keep a reader interested. Wanda the witch from the first book, reappears intent to do away with Martin and Claire You will need to read the book to see if she succeeds.

The Oz Files: Intrigue at Sandy Point was fantastic. I think that this book was just as good as the first in this series, Broometime Serenade, which with many books is not the case. This one has so much adventure and excitement that you never know what's coming on the next page. I really love these books and how he puts a spin on the normal murder mystery with witches and warlocks mixed in. This book could stand on its own, since it explains what happened in the last book, but as a series it's fantastic. These are definitely high on my list of must reads!

Martin and Claire are called in on another mission when a CIA agent murdered while windsurfing. They soon discover that a lot more is going on than what they first suspected. While investigating, they are faced with fates worse than death, but continue on their mission. Once they discover the plan behind the ruckus, they travel from one side of the continent to the other just to stop their evil plot. In the midst of all the chaos, an old foe with a vengeance reappears and throws even more kinks in their plan. Will they be able to solve the mystery and stop the terrorists?

Intrigue at Sandy point: the Oz files is an interestingly told story that isn't one I've read before. Barry Metcalf is a new to me author and I'm glad that I had the chance to read this work.

With agents, and criminals and some paranormal to throw in this story will grab you and not let go until you find out what it all means.

Written extremely well and interestingly enough in a POV that I normally don't enjoy reading. This is the book that changed it for me. Exceedingly interesting and action packed! I will definitely be recommending this to fellow readers!
3 stars for Barry Metcalf and the Oz Files!

Martin and Claire are looking forward to their vacation at Tonga. But a call from their boss Gavin, head of the Strange and Obscure Cases unit informs them that they will be spending a working vacation at Sandy Point. A covert CIA agent has been murdered and they need answers. Also Young women have gone missing along the Ninety-Mile Beach at a regular and alarming rate. Most of them from Sandy Point. Plus he wants a background check on Robert Herrick, a man who may be involved in drug running.
The author up fronts lets you know what is going on and who did what. Who the bad guys are, etc.. With that said it doesn’t take away from the book. You are so engrossed in what is going on you don’t realize time has passed and you’re on the last page. Yes, this book is that good! I do feel a need to put up a warning, there are plenty of graphic rape scenes through-out the book and violence. Considering who does the raping and violence it fits the books bad guys. Hence keeping it real. This is an awesome read and I recommend it to all who love a good suspense novel.
