His short stories and poems have frequently won prizes, and he has appeared on television discussing local matters.
As well as the Realms of Kyre medieval fantasy saga, the New-Classic Sci-Fi books, and the OsssOss Series of short stories, he has published many reader-friendly non-fiction books and articles. These are mostly about exploring active volcanoes around the world, and searching for fossilised dinosaur footprints on Yorkshire’s Jurassic coast.
In the 1980s, his Ph.D. research pioneered the use of computers in the education of children with profound learning difficulties. Much of this research was published in educational, medical and computing magazines and journals.
He spent fourteen years at the classroom chalkface; sixteen as headteacher of a special school; and sixteen as an Ofsted school inspector to round it off. At the time, his teacher wife, Chris, joked that it was “Sleeping with the Enemy”.
Now retired, Trevor writes, walks the local footpaths; curses his computers; and loves his wife, the cat and his kids.

Short Sci-Fi Stories from the Lighter Side is a witty and imaginative collection that explores the strange, hilarious, and thought-provoking corners of space, time, and everyday absurdities. With stories that stretch from intergalactic chaos to pub-side mysteries, it’s a delightfully quirky ride through alternative realities and speculative "what-ifs." Perfect for fans of Douglas Adams-style satire, these tales offer sharp commentary wrapped in humor and creativity. A fun and clever read that leaves you questioning everything — with a smirk.
