I am a 73 year old Yorkshireman living in exile in South Gloucestershire. Married to Eveline for over fifty years we have two brilliant daughters, Eleanor and Jessica and three wonderful grandchildren, E.J., Willow and Nora. They live in Ireland and together provided me with the inspiration to get a novel published after 60 years of starting.

I support Rotherham United, Yorkshire cricket and once ran marathons, one in California whilst working as an exchange teacher in Sacramento. Cancer and laziness prevent anymore marathons.

I love the writing of, Tim Murgatroyd, Alexander McCall Smith and Larry McMurtry but my first loves were always Henry Treece and Rosemary Sutcliffe.

My two novels, ‘Secrets, Lies and Rhubarb Pies’ and the sequel, ‘Secrets, Lies and Two Leg Byes’ are available on Amazon.
