So, who am I? Well, firstly I’m a British Australian. Mmmm – still have the accent. I was born in Liverpool, England, married a wonderful woman called Angela and have two children.
We then were very brave and moved to Australia. We now live in Cairns – that’s up at the top of Australia, at the start of the pointy bit.
I am dyslexic, abdominous and generally see the glass half full.
I gave up work as a bad job – well actually I loved my job, but the call of writing was stronger – and now I sit in my study, surrounded by guitars, books, ukes and a banjo, typing merrily away.
I am known as a writer of fiction, mostly Historical Sci-Fi,. some comedy, but some straight Sci-Fi.
I am a member of the infamous yet fabulous Tropical Writers Inc, where we sit around and discuss our works. You will find some short stories of mine on that website.
My historical science fiction work involves me weaving fictitious characters into historical events. The events are real, and I will list reference sites and materials when appropriate, under my Research and notes tab. My comedy requires me to let my hair down and write from my Liverpool heart!
Enjoy.
