Born in Yorkshire, after leaving the army, I began contributing stories and articles to the monthly magazines of two Native American charities. Having a love of film, I then studied for two years at the London Screenwriters Workshop, where I completed five feature screenplays. My first book, a children's mystery novel called The Time Bandit, was published in 2016, followed by Shingas, a historical novel set in colonial America. My second children's book, The Conquistador's Horse was published in 2018 and has since been translated into Portuguese and Spanish. Book four, The Letter, was published in 2022, and a second World War Two novel, entitled A New Beginning, was published in 2023. These two books, together with Shingas, have since been translated and published in German. Shingas has also been translated and published in Italian. My latest book entitlted Hitler's Child, continues the WW2 theme.
