About the author

I have always been an avid reader - I found a love of books from my days lost in the local library and had an adult library card from the age of 9 (which allowed me to get out more books than I could carry!) This took me along the career path of becoming an English teacher and I have had an extremely happy career sharing my love of language , novels and drama with young and old alike.
I am the father of three wonderful young women- who make me proud to know them everyday- and they are the inspiration for the central character of the resourceful and strong Bronte in Urban Witch.
