Biography

It is said there is a book in everyone. Always up for a challenge I decided to have a go and found not only did I find a book, I have found writing to be a wonderful experience. It is just brilliant when parts of the story fit together. My first book The Knight Behind The Pillar is a story I had thought about for years and comes from my love of King Arthur and the ideals of knighthood. The problem with the story of King Arthur is its size and so I found Tor, one of the knights of the round table, one that you perhaps have not come across before. So I decided to find his story as well.

In the day time I am planning officer and live the UK with my wife and children. I hope you enjoy.
