I was born in 1950 in Lancashire and attended a boy’s grammar school. After qualifying as an English and Drama teacher in 1972, I worked in the North East of England for the next 35 years. During that time I did write, mainly plays, pantos and musicals for the students at the three schools in which I worked.
When I stopped teaching I set up my own consultancy firm and worked as an adviser in schools and colleges in the North East of England. The new Conservative Government ended that avenue of work and in 2010 I found that I had time on my hands; having started work at the age of 15 I found the lack of work not to my liking and used the time to research the Roman invasion of Britain and begin to create a novel. The result was The Sword of Cartimandua.
My decision to begin writing was one of the best I have ever taken.
Iove the story. Strong characters. Realistic human drama and mysticism. I like the King Arthur references,kinda gives the tale some depth. It does seem as though these e books have been copied and edited by a machine. The gaffs seem to be repetitious.
I just go from one book to another, amazing stories. Never stale. Brilliantly written totally gripping from one page to the next. Onwards and upwards!!!!
