Studied History and Law at Queens’ College, Cambridge. Briefly worked in banking and recruitment before settling on a career in teaching. Taught at Elizabeth College, Guernsey and was then head of department at The School of St Helen & St Katharine, Abingdon. Finally, was Director of Sixth Form at St Mary’s, Ascot. Retired to the Isle of Skye where I am climbing all the Scottish mountains over 3000 feet. Wrote my first novel in 2020, Needing Napoleon. The sequel, Serving Shaka, is due out in Spring 2022. I have completed the third instalment in what I call The Richard Davey Chronicles. This is currently with my editor. I am now working on a standalone historical adventure set during and immediately after the American War of Independence.
