The Sixties Series

The cultural revolution of the long 1960s (1960-1975) brought in one of the most significant cultural shifts the world has known. Music, dress, moral ideas, social manners, and political attitudes were turned upside down. The war generation hardly knew what motivated the post-war generation. Across Western Society, a social fissure opened. The leaders of the revolution were twenty-year-olds (‘Don’t trust anyone under 30), mainly from an educated middle-class background.

A major theme in each title in the Sixties Series is the transition from the innocence of traditional life in the 1950s to the mayhem of the 1960s cultural revolution, and how each character deals with the moral and political upheaval.

There are several subplots in the stories, many of which originate in previous titles in the series.

The SIXTIES SERIES will consist of eight connected but stand-alone stories (5 published as of 1 January 2026). The cultural revolution of the 1960s (1960-1975) and the Second Vatican Council are the social, cultural, and political background. The author who lived through the turmoil of those times recreates its atmosphere, with accurate historical details and recognisable character types. The themes of neo-paganism and Gnosticism are threads through the stories.
