Biography

I was born and bred in North Wales, and after graduating from University with a Mining Engineering degree I spent the next seven years living and working in Southern Africa. Following that, I lived and worked for two years each in California and London, before moving to Denver, Colorado where I currently reside. I still find time to return to North Wales on a regular basis to visit my family and get some proper fish and chips and a decent cup of tea!

Smashwords Interview

How long have you lived in the USA?
About ten years now.
What's the story behind your latest book?
About eighteen months ago, my brother-in-law, who still lives in a small village in North Wales, with my sister introduced me to the story of a Welsh Prince named Madog. Who, legend had it sailed from Wales across the Atlantic; and into the Gulf of Mexico before eventually making landfall in what is now modern day Alabama. This was in the 12th century, thus predating the arrival of Columbus by almost three hundred years.

Intrigued, I started researching the story and found myself being drawn deeper into it. What started out as an idea for a blog, grew into a novel. Perhaps the fact that I completed the same journey (albeit many hundreds of years later and without the hardships and hazards that these intrepid explorers endured) as Prince Madog meant that it struck a poignant chord with me!
