Matthew and Melanie left some unfinished business in 1999. Twelve years later, under unusual circumstances and far away from their comfort zone, the time has come to settle old scores. They say every human has their soulmate, or kindred spirit, but is love really that strong? Can it overcome the test of time? Or are certain things best left in the past?
Born at St. Mary Abbots Hospital in Kensington, London, however I spent my formative years in South America.
Following my interest and love for the creative side of life, I trained and worked as a recording engineer in leading dubbing and voiceover studios. In that area, I developed skills in all different range of sound post-production as well as occasional work as a voiceover artist.
In the mid nineties, I returned to my native London where I ended up working in the Travel Industry where, despite it no longer being the glamorous industry it was portrayed to be - I was clearly duped - I still managed to indulge in my other passion; travelling.
Still unable to become a millionaire and live the debonaire lifestyle I craved, the dormant writing talent in me began to flourish. Or so I thought.
For better or for worse, I began a new career as an accomplished author writing about my travels, reviewing destinations, accomodation and flights. I published in some well known and respected websites and online forums in addition to other obscure and dubious sites, in most cases with a varying degree of success - however, despite my best efforts, I am still unable to enjoy the freebies and perks I desperately wished for after all the trouble I'd gone through.
It was only a matter of time before I seriously considered writing my first novel. After many failed attempts, years of solitary confinement (in pubs, cafes, airport lounges, hotel rooms... and more bars) IN YOUR DREAMS came to life, and terrorised the literary world, again with a with a varying degree of success - within my neighbourhood and local pub in Lee. I will be releasing my second book DAMNED IF I NDON'T (Short thrills) around end of November 2017. After that, I will continue work on my second novel - still untitled.
I lives in South East London with my family. I supports Liverpool, therefore I am definitely a hopeless dreamer. Or a masochist.
