I'm an author of two autobiographies and am a former Royal Marine Commando (7 years Service) I left in 1990. Recently, I have released my debut Novel, "Wasted Resource."

I currently work in the I.T. Industry in the UK as an IT Project Manager for Northern Rock Bank.

I am happily married and have been with my wife for 21 great years. We have two fabulous sons.

My hobbies are reading, writing, keeping myself fit (mainly Bodypump), Martial arts (Blackbelt in Ninjutsu) and playing and coaching table tennis competetively in my local town leagues.

I tend to read mainly non fiction books, but still dabble from time to time with fiction stories. Reading, I feel, is a great way to relax.

Writing

I wrote my first book to put a very violent past behind me. The current book I've just finished is also purpose driven; its to highlight the waste of specialist militry skills that go to waste when Military Service Personnel leave the military. These skills could be utilised to enhance the security of their home country. I'll write a little more about this after I publish the forthcoming book.

Alison Kershaw Hi Steven,

So glad you found me and made friends here... Reason I'm so chuffed, I'm actually writing a terrorist novel at the moment and need a great deal of factual material. (no plagiarism I promise, just an understanding of military life is needed. Read and watched a few military books and vids recently, really into Ultimate Force and Spooks at the moment!)

Can't wait to get my hands on your books hun!
Take care and have a fantastic New Year.
