about…….
I was born and grew up in Kirkby in Ashfield in the coalfields of north Nottinghamshire .
After going to University in Liverpool in the late 1960s, I worked variously as a tarmac layer, teacher, university lecturer and consultant.
I travelled the world on a shoestring and lived for several years in Australia. I currently work and live in Bristol.
My first collection of short stories, “The Mystery of Ernie Talor’s Abdomen” was published in 2019. I completed a further collection, “Christmas at the Rum Jungle Hotel and other Travel Stories” in 2022. I am just completing a novella, "Silo Killer”, about life in an Australian outback town facing economic decline.
