Moreton Scientific Investigation – Books 1-5
Legend – Book 5 Publication date – 25th November 2025
Billionaire Jenson Groves has spent a lifetime haunted by a single, impossible moment—a fleeting glimpse of something beneath the surface of Loch Ness. Now, fifty years later, he is determined to uncover the truth before it’s too late.
To Ben Sharman and the Moreton Scientific Investigation team, the Loch Ness Monster is nothing more than a carefully crafted tourist trap—until their expedition takes a sinister turn. As they push deeper into the murky waters, they uncover evidence of something far more dangerous than folklore, something powerful enough to rewrite history.
Shadowy forces with hidden agendas will do whatever it takes to keep the truth buried, and the team soon finds themselves caught in a deadly game of deception. As tensions rise and the stakes grow ever higher, Ben and his team must decide how far they’re willing to go to uncover a secret that was never meant to see the light of day.
The fifth instalment of the Moreton Scientific Investigation Series delivers a gripping blend of mystery, science fiction, and conspiracy—where uncovering the past could change the future.
Book 5 ‘Legend’ is available to pre-order and will be published on 25th November 2025 in Kindle, Kindle Unlimited and paperback formats.

I am currently working on book 5 ‘Legend’ in the ‘Moreton Scientific Investigation’ series, which has been so much fun to write and it has been an absolute pleasure to get up every day and look forward to disappearing into the world I have created. What has been especially pleasing are the reviews the books have received and comments from readers on my facebook ads. It can be a lonely occupation at times where it’s just you and the words on the page, which is in complete contrast to my previous occupation as firefighter with South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, where I was always surrounded by fellow firefighters, office staff and the general public.
Moreton Scientific Investigation evolved from a story that a teacher in my junior school read to the class, ‘The Ruum’ is a 1953 science fiction short story by American writer Arthur Porges and centres around a man who discovers a collection of animals in suspended animation collected by a “Ruum’, a spherical, mechanical device left by aliens. The aliens never returned to see what specimens Ruum had collected which spanned millions of years, back as far as the dinosaurs. The man discovering this bizarre collection becomes a target for the Ruum, to add to the collection. This story stayed with me and I used the idea of aliens depositing something on earth for collection at a later date. In ‘Beneath’ The task for the deposited alien servants has a far more sinister purpose, to rid the earth of all animal life, in preparation for alien occupation.
The best part of writing the series for me was developing the characters into real personalities providing me with several imaginary friends! I intended to keep going with the series as long as as I enjoy writing it and more importantly that you the readers are still enjoying the Moreton Scientific teams investigations.
I have a fantastic editor who has been a revelation. She is accurate, meticulous, and tells me exactly as it is, which is invaluable. It is no good being a writer who can’t take criticism. If you only want praise as a writer you’re in the wrong profession. I never see getting things wrong as a failure but as a learning curve, no matter how much it hurts and there have been more than a few painful moments along the way! I admit to not being the best at grammar and spelling and my editor is my fairy godmother, spotting and repairing my often dodgy draft text!
I am a compulsive reader (listener actually as I generally ‘read’ audio books) getting through around two to three books a week. My main genres for reading are of course sci-fi and crime murder mystery. If you are into the crime genre, I am also writing a brand new regional crime series based around a female Detective Inspector, in the Monmouthshire area in South Wales, UK. I will be writing this series under the author name R.M.Nesbitt, just to distinguish between the two genres. I’m aiming to publish the first three books in the series in early 2026. If you sign up for my newsletter I will keep you updated.
My main objective on this site is to chart the progress of my indie author books. I will also be posting useful information to would-be authors so you can see what helped my progress and what didn’t. It’s going to be an interesting ride as this has been quite a long time in the planning.
I have plenty of ideas to share and write about and hope this site will build into something you will find really helpful and of value.
If you have any comments about the site (good or bad) or have any questions that I can help you with please contact me r.m.nesbittauthor@gmail.com (Sorry I haven’t put it as a live link as the spam brigade are always sending irrelevant tripe if I do!)
Last but not least I would like to thank all of you who have read my books and really appreciate the fantastic reviews on Amazon and comments on Facebook and instagram. It makes it all worth it!
