I was born in Woking, Surrey, and have created stories since before I could write. As soon as I could put pen to paper I was putting my stories into writing and have done so, compulsively, ever since.

Getting Into Print

Back in the day there was practically no such thing as indie publishing. Well, okay, there was but it went by a rather more pejorative name. Vanity Publishing. As if the process was entirely designed to massage the misguided ego of the author, vanity publishing came in different forms. There were (and maybe still are) firms devoted to printing books by authors willing to stump up the cash. To sell Read more of this blog post »
