edit data

I took an English degree at Fitzwilliam, Cambridge and a Phd at the University of Kent. I then taught at the University of Otago in New Zealand for six years, before coming back to the UK and getting a job at Bolton School, where I stayed until I retired.
I have published three books on Kindle, High Towers, The Labyrinth and Murder at Oxford 1642. Click on each book for a brief description.

Please could Goodreads remove the three Chemistry books which have been mistakenly added to my author profile. It might be a good idea to apologise to their editor, who appears to share my name.

The chemistry books are nothing to do with me and have been added without my knowledge
