I was born in Bedford 1967 and studied English Literature in Dunstable where I grew up, I now live in Devon with my wife Jill and 5 daughters.

My early writing career consisted mostly of short stories told to my children. My first children's novel 'Emily and the Spider' has received praise from schools and Libraries across the world, where it has been used as a study aid for Primary school pupils in Story and Character development.

I have a Passion for telling stories that value love, friendship, good old fashioned story telling, good vs bad and of course happy endings.
