Biography

After a lifetime teaching in North of England schools, I retired to my place in the sun where I now have time to indulge my passion for writing.

Here I write for three local publications and two of my books are collections of articles and short stories written for these publications.

I also have a blockbuster novel entitled 'POW USA' that no agent, as yet, wants! Watch this space.
