Biography

I was born in Staffordshire, England and worked as a zoo keeper specialising in the care of wild cats, birds of prey and reptiles. I now live in the Yarra Valley in Victoria, Australia and write multi-genre fiction in which 'ordinary people deal with the extraordinary'.

I am also working on an account of my three decades as a zoo keeper in both England and Australia, which is to be entitled 'Whose Zoo?'.

Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in the English West Midlands and the place and period have certainly shaped the setting and attitudes of a number of my stories.
When did you first start writing?
I made my first attempts at writing fiction when I was fifteen years old. I had gathered a great deal of information about the American 'Old West' and decided to put it to use by writing a Western novel. It was never finished, but the process revealed to me the joys of writing fiction.

    An excellent, no-nonsense approach to writing a novel. Damn you, now I have had to buy 'Desolation Boulevard' on the strength of this well written work :)
