I am an ordinary chap in an ordinary job who wanted an extraordinary life – and where does one get such a life? Why, you make one up of course! and writing seemed like the best way to do that. I live in England but grew up in the Far East, especially Hong Kong where I had many adventures as a child. Naturally I enjoy reading, especially adventure books written by people who've actually had the adventure. I also love science fiction and thrillers. I was married and have two grown up children. I like dogs and cats and going to the movies but I hate zoos and don't like watching television- boring!
