About the author

I learned to write doing well at English and History at school, then at University - writing that got an assessor's interest and therefore high marks

Later, working in commercial organisations, I was taught to write clearly and persuasively in support of my objectives - 'when you write, do it as though your reader is a moron with five minutes to spare.' So though I've never done a creative writing course my training has always been to tell a story that gets the reader's attention, then acceptance.

I've read widely. Fiction, biography, history, economics, politics, religion, psychology - I'm rarely without a book (or its e-version) in my hands.

I've lived in three different countries: Sweden, Brazil, South Africa, and now I'm settled by the Severn Sea in north Somerset.
