About this ebook
Gareth Jones had been a gambler since his late teens. When he was still at school he used to bet on the favoured horses in that mornings newspaper and he usually won.
As the years went by he would venture into Cardiff city centre to inhabit the night clubs and engage in Roulette and Poker as well as the glamorous girls. He also purchased an MGB GT to enhance his image.
Then one night his world came tumbling down. That night he lost thousands of pounds on the poker table and was in substantial debt to the casino.
The ultimate chain of events led him to live South East Spain. Unfortunately his arrival coincided with the Coronavirus outbreak. However he managed to support himself by photographing glamorous female models.

I was born in Wales, but have lived in Spain, Majorca, the western highlands of Scotland and the Wye Valley.My books are mostly set in the places where I have had homes. These include ten published paperbacks and eleven e-books.I append below a review from Mr Derek J Edwards of my novel, 'Time on their Hands'.'I could not put this book down. It was full of interesting characters, with twists and turns in every chapter. I will certainly be looking for other novels by Richard F Jones. 'You can check Amazon Kindle for the authenticity of the review.

As he grew older he ventured into Cardiff City Centre
