SHORT BIOGRAPHY

I was born in London's east end shortly after the second world war. As a boy, 'playgrounds' outside of school took the form of larking with friends and hiding in the rubble of houses and factories obliterated by the wartime bombings.
      Education was skimpy, but after my parents were rehoused some years later in a modern flat on the south west fringe of London, education and life gradually improved.
      My first job was as a record department assistant with W.H. Smith at Putney in 1967. Not long after I was lucky enough to get an interview and job with a local newspaper in Ruislip, Middx., pursuing the first step in my love of writing, which I'd had from a very early age.
      Then progression to other locals for several years before changing tack into the corporate world, variously writing, editing and PR work for company magazines including, Kawasaki, Xerox and RMC Group among others. Later I worked as a freelance in this field.
      While I'd written many short stories and plays as a pastime, I'd never seriously embarked on having them published. It was the advent of self-publishing that sparked life on this front, inspiring me to attempt a book. Having always enjoyed the supernatural genre, I began the first nearly ten years ago, Dark Secrets Cottage, Since then more. My diet for reading isn't restricted to this genre though, also liking thrillers, mystery, historical and factual adventure.
      My home is in Aylesbury, UK, where I live with my wife Jenny. We have a son and daughter, and two wonderful grandchildren.
