Biography

Working as a manager was no fun at all. That's why I spent 28 wonderful years as an IT developer. At home, we brought up three children. In my spare time (when there was any) I wrote stories. Now I'm retired, still writing, still trying to get it right.

Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I was born in the South-West of England. From a working-class home in the nineteen-forties to the life we have today, that's a long journey. Some of my characters are still trying to make sense of it all.
Describe your desk
Most important are Bertie and Harry, the ten-inch Basset Hounds on the shelf, either side of my monitor screen. There's a supply of paper for making notes, which Bertie and Harry keep safe by sitting on them. The jumble of pages includes a print of my calendar to tell me what's happening, and the lyrics and chords for a few songs. There's a keyboard and mouse too.

Smashwords book reviews by Ches Torrants

  • Hands of the Traitor on May 10, 2017

    I didn't know that there were private investigators making a living in England a couple of decades ago, but it makes a great launchpad for this story. The main character is determined to unravel what happened to his grandfather. He faces villainous Americans and unspeakable French policemen, helped by some charming characters and a share of good luck too. After the beginning (which I found a little disorientating) the narrative drives ahead. The nature of the secret chemical weapon, undiscovered since WW2, adds a special kind of danger to the action. I liked it.
