British indie author. ( how exciting that I can call myself an author!) Though I was born in Sussex I spent the first 25 years of my life living in South Manchester; A town called Sale. In my first year at secondary school, when I was 11 I met a friend who wrote adventure stories. He, myself and another friend became the heroes of these stories and so began my love of writing. I wrote for years, until my life and career got in the way. Now, at the ripe age of 57, I have been retired for the best part of a year and have been able to really commit to writing. I now live in Warwickshire with my fiancé Alan and our two cats Marley and Dexter.
