I was born in Scotland, but have lived in Burton upon Trent, England for almost all of my life. I am married to Lynne and have a son, Mark. My father’s family originally came from Cornwall where they were Tin Miners, but moved to North Leicestershire in the 1840s to mine coal. My mother was Scottish and met my dad during the second world war. I was born in Scotland, but have lived in Burton upon Trent, England for almost all of my life.

I’ve always had a passion for writing and started to write my first novel when I was 17 years old, but never got around to finishing it. Later in life, whilst working full time, I took writing again in my spare time. I’d always been interested in the Romans and the late fourth century period of their rule in Britain and how it affected the native tribes. Living in the West Midlands the British tribe that originally lived in the area was the Cornovii who also may have had links with Cornwall. My first novel ‘Divided Empire’, a historical thriller set in late 4th Century CE Roman Britain was published in 2015 and its sequel 'Dark Betrayal' in 2016. I have a third novel in that trilogy to complete writing, 'The Wolves of Erin. My first Sci-Fi novel which I started to write all those years ago, 'The Sol 3 Agenda' was published in 2020 and at present I'm writing its sequel 'The Sword of Light' which I hope to have ready for publication by the end of 2023.
