Bio
Semi-retired now from an international career in energy and consultancy that has taken me all over the world – an important contributory factor to my novels as they tend to focus on places I have been to. Over 90 countries, mainly in Europe, North America, the Far and Middle East and, a long time ago now, Africa. I have been writing extensively for over a good decade now but, before that, it was for my professional work in putting together marketing, sales and training materials. The Casover team found me after I had been writing on-line for a ‘free’ site and I have been one of their main contributors on a sister site where I have an extensive library of published works. I have written under different pseudonyms and have one on here for my ‘Dark Romance’ books.
I should have perhaps gone onto read English at A-level after my grades at school in the subject and Literature!
