Biography
I live in Northampton, UK
Nine years ago (while my partner was expecting our 1st son) I had a motorcycle accident which left me in a wheelchair for four months. And?...I hear you say, well there's not much to do when you can't get out and about and go to work, so I decided to write a short book for my child to read when he was older and that's where it all started. I managed to get 25,000 words written in about three months, then our first born son decided it was time to arrive and that was the end of that...I never managed to get back to writing until last year when my son (now 9 years old) decided he wanted to read the first part and has bugged me ever since to finish the book.
The Problem is... that ten years or so is long time and you end up adding or coming up with new ideas, or at least my son and I did, so I had to re-write the whole first part again and the idea for the book is so large now I've had to split it between three books instead...now possibly four..we'll see.
