Biography
After life as a surveyor in Papua New Guinea and northern New South Wales, watching his wife study Journalism made this man envious.
So this life-long reader — history, adventure, mystery, romance, biography —started writing himself. Two fingers are quite adequate.
Had stories published in Women’s Weekly and other mags. Won writing competitions. Became a writing-comp judge.
But waiting for the thumbs-up from traditional publishers became tiresome.
That’s why this name and books have appeared on your radar at this time via the magic of e-publishing.
Love being swept up in intriguing plots, memorable characters and exciting historical periods? You’ll really enjoy these page-turners!
His secret? His Rottweiler editor/wife. No fatuous heroines, no “telling”, no bad spelling or grammar escape her.
After you rip through your first book, you’ll want more. (More soon.)
