Born back in 1975, I have been interested in writing since almost as soon as I could read and began writing short stories back in Primary School. Thanks to my probably overactive imagination, developed into a hobby through secondary school and then the creation of the novel series you see here today.
Over the years the novels have been written on a wide selection of equipment beginning with a ‘classic’ Amstrad PCW8256 (green screen, Locoscript and 3” disks anyone?!?)

I spent almost ten years in IT Support in a School in Southern England during which I found time (and inspiration thanks to one particular individual who shall remain nameless) to carry on writing commencing with the publication of ‘Waterloo’ and carrying on from there.
Since January of 2008 I have been working as a Guard/Conductor on the railways with Southern doing a job I have always wanted to do since I was a child. I’ve got a green flag, whistle and everything!!!
Before anyone asks, no you won’t find a picture of me on this website as I hate having my picture taken and have successfully avoided cameras for many years!!
