Apart from an - award-winning - author I'm an IT manager, woodworker and cartoonist who loves stories. I live in the UK with my wife, two children and two cats. I have a weakness for wine gums but I can't eat them now for health reasons :( My first book: Sugar the Robot and the race to save the Earth was written following a story-telling time with my family. It was followed by the second book in the Roboteers series - Do not feed the Troll - a year later. I'm very proud that Do Not feed The Troll! won the Wishing Shelf Independent Books Awards 2015 (6-8 yr old category) I've also published several short stories. All my work can be downloaded for free at my website as well as bought in paperback/e-reader formats.
