I'm 74 years old. I was raised on a council estate on London's not-so-wild western edge and I now live in the country with my wife Jean who is an environmental activist and secretary of the Richard Jefferies Society. In my time I've been an engineering draughtsman, a school caretaker, a musician, a seller of guitars and records and a technician with a company importing Aria musical instruments into the UK from Japan.

I'm a writer of novels and short stories, six novels and three collections of short stories. I have an MA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia. My tutors there were Sir Malcolm Bradbury and Angela Carter. My first collection of stories Brother, What Strange Place is This? and my second Roof Whirl Away and my third The Corner of Moon Street are, along with my novels, available from Amazon on Kindle and Reuben Books as a paperbacks.
