I was born in South Yorkshire, and never wanted to do anything else but join the Army. After enlisting as a boy Soldier at the age of 16 and completing a years training at the Junior Leaders Regiment I was posted to Germany. It was whilst fighting in the first Gulf war and through my three tours of duty in Bosnia that I found my love of writing. I grew up reading good old fashioned adventure stories such as treasure island and the famous five series. I had these books in mind when I wrote Poppy Darke, I wanted poppy to have a real adventure, meet weird and wonderful characters and take her to the limits of an eleven year old girl. I hope I achieved this and I hope you enjoy my books.
This is a novel I thought up in 1997, but left it until now to write. The story is based around the conspiracies surrounding the death of Princess Diana but I hope the central theme is one man's determination to survive at all costs.
I hope you enjoy the story as much I enjoyed writing it.
