Quinton Rumford
Author
Quinton Rumford is a pen name. I use it because it saves confusion as there are other authors out there with my given names. I am married to Lindy and we have two adult children and a dog called Freddie - that's Freddie and me above. My subject matter is varied fiction from fantasy, history to modern contemporary novels with a definite preference for sardonic, off-beat humour, sharp and sometimes scarlet dialogue and occasional debauchery with raunchy content. I am drawn to the raw, humorous and sexually challenging but ragged edge of contemporary life where creativity jostles with reality to form unusual narratives and unique characters. If there is one constant in my books it is the outrageous and always blasphemous manner how my vibrant but provocative fictional characters conduct their rackety, sassy and always deeply uninhibited and vividly scarlet lives.
THIS PARTICULARLY APPLIES TO MY LATEST SERIES OF HILARIOUS NOVELS FEATURING THE FURIOUS FANNIES LADIES RUGBY UNION TEAM...see below for covers, prices and ordering.
So be warned in advance - if you are offended by raunchy sex, explicit humour and an irreligious stance manifested by unusual and occasionally offbeat characters, my latest series of books are not for you.

Following is the cover of the second Fannies book called THE FURIOUS FANNIES - SEASON ONE and will be available end of the year or early 2026 and is with the publisher now.
THE FURIOUS FANNIES - FOREIGN FIELDS and Book three in the series - will be released mid 2026.
The narratives of the books I have written and listed on the accompanying Books Page vary from early works of fiction featuring historic fantasy - for young adults - about these mighty stones at Avebury shown in the misty picture above, through to a Tudor romp, contemporary counter-terrorism, savant genius and, currently, sassy, raunchy humour concerning the formation and early matches of a women’s rugby union team called the Furious Fannies. These sassy women are my first attempt at writing humorous novels from a female standpoint and the series of three books are being published now as part of my legacy project. When completed this project will feature all of my completed twenty-five novels in paperback and eBook form.
I like to lead a quiet, orderly life and one of my guides when writing is to follow the French novelist Gustave Flaubert (1821 - 1880) who said: Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.
Taking into consideration the rewrites and shorts, I have written something in excess of twenty-five fiction-based novels and these are all being given a make-over and then transferred gradually to a couple of progressive self-publishing platforms as a Legacy Project following a serious and debilitating illness. These are worldwide publishing sites that will enable purchase of these books at reasonable prices in e-book, or paperback form. Although the writing for them is done, publication is held back by getting each novel set out in the two different formats above and the covers designed and approved.
Please click on the Books page top right hand corner of this page for the complete list and approximate date when they will be available. A new novel will be added to this website approx. every four months as they are being produced as paperbacks.
