| Introduction | I was born in Gloucestershire and have lived in the county all my life. I grew up surrounded by the myths and legends of "What there might be in the woods"…"What were the things that went "Bump" in the night?"… "Was that really a screech Owl … or something else?" This proved very useful when it came to writing the first book of the Fantasy Trilogy and subsequent novels! The son of a Country Blacksmith; I became a Police Officer, and later joined an International Aerospace Company, employed as an Avionics Quality Inspector. Now, having retired after 45 years with the same company; and back in the sensible world; I'm with the Jet Age Museum engineering team; ("Project Typhoon"); restoring the only surviving Hawker Typhoon 1B "Car door" variant cockpit... (initially)... for inclusion as an exhibit in the museum. (And, to think I said... "Back in the sensible world"...???) |
| Interests | Writing, Fantasy, Poetry, History, Researching; ... and now, Historic Aircraft Restoration! |
| Favorite Movies | The Notebook, Somewhere in Time, Notting Hill, Bridges of Madison County, The Dollars Trilogy. |
| Favorite Music | All types. Plus; I'm getting a few more miles out of the old Fender 12 string, before the fingers get too creaky! |
| Favorite Books | No favourite... I don't tend to read fiction these days, especially when I'm writing; because I don't want to be subconsciously influenced by other writers' ideas. |
