I commenced my writing career in 1969 when I contributed 60 ‘one line’ comedy gags each week for an American Radio show called ‘FUNNYBIRDS’, which starred Goldie Hawn and Phyllis Diller. Then after meeting Terry Nation, the creator of ‘DR. WHO’, I was introduced to Alastair Scott-Johnson, the BBC Producer responsible for such classics as ‘THE NAVY LARK’ and ‘HANCOCK’S HALF HOUR.’ As a result of this, the BBC commissioned a Radio comedy pilot, which I co-wrote, called ‘THE MOTORWAY MEN’. Then followed a series of 8 more episodes of ‘THE MOTORWAY MEN’ which had a listening audience of over 5 million at the time. 

  

I then turned to writing books and produced three technical books on the subject of Automotive Paint Finishes whilst I was the Quality Control Manager and Chief Test Driver at Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. The books were sold world wide and are used in many technical colleges, universities as well as motor manufacturers for training. I then wrote ‘NOTES FOR GOOD DRIVERS’ and ‘NOTES FOR COMPANY DRIVERS’ for drivers of all abilities in the hope that these books would make a contribution to road safety. I used my training as a private pilot, (I have a multi engine rating) to carry forward my ideas of ‘safety style’ driving, which I believe has enabled me to drive safely more than 3 million miles in the UK, Europe and the USA.

   

Now a full time author, I have written 25 books, 5 technical and 20 novels, including the Michel Ronay series, which are amusing stories about a French taxi driver in Marseille. My latest novel, ‘The Macabre Murders’ is the 13th of the Inspector Hadley series set in Victorian times. I am currently writing another Inspector Hadley novel and more titles will follow. Alongside the above books are two very amusing and romantic stories about an angel called Eric. The second book entitled 'Eric and the Divorcee' is now available in E-Book format, (Epub, & Amazon, Mobi), as well as Inspector Hadley and The Holy Grail Murders.
