| Introduction | Born in Rossendale, in the Lancashire Pennines, I grew up with a freedom and innocence that I believe children no longer enjoy. They were magical times when play was a product of the imagination; when a tree trunk became a pirate ship, a stick was a sword: all done without the aid of electronics. My early recollections of school are of a remarkable but fairly strict headmaster, Marcus Dearden. He had an amazing ability to spot the enquiring mind, encourage and develop it. The development of my mind continued at the local grammar school, BRGS. Unfortunately I was in the last year to have a fast track stream, gaining eight GCE’s by the age of fifteen. The pressure proved to be too much. At the age of sixteen after my first year of A levels studies, I decided to leave school. I took up an apprenticeship as a radio engineer with an airline. My writing career is a recent addition. My work has taken me to Bahrain where I now live with my second wife (a fiercely proud Scot, hence the tartan background to my web pages). She is the one that has to suffer my incessant chatter about whatever piece I am working on, but without her I couldn’t do it. |
