About the Author

I was born and grew up in the county of Somerset, England. After studying mathematical physics at University, I've moved through a number of jobs including seismic exploration, software programming, project and bid management. I live near Winchester and enjoy sports, including tennis, cycling and mountain climbing.

My first published work was a short story, The Overarm Dog, about a dog learning the front crawl. I followed this with the novel Culture Man, an adventure set in Winchester. I spent much of 2019 writing what turned out to be a 200-page blog article on writing and have turned this into a free book on Smashwords. I've learnt – hopefully – lots from the experience and will be writing more fiction this year.
