I am a 63-year-old Englishman, living and working with my lovely wife Cristina in South America.  I write books with lots of short stories inside each, illustrating my unique imagination on what Colombian real life involves. 
In each, you will discover an abundance of memorable characters, such as Stalin the ex-policeman, now a beggar with a rock in his hand, and no memory.
Ximena the sexy senora, with a set of buttocks, that men would stop for.
Ignacio, the retiring truck driver, who says very little, but knows everything.
Rosa, the soon to be a Nun, who loves to sing when her friends prefer to snore.

These are just 4 of many I love to write about in Colombia. My style has been likened in the same vein as JK Rowling did for Harry Potter, and as Gabriel Garcias Marquez did for Colombia.

In my spare time, I write content for websites and magazines.
Not bad, for a man who when he was a boy could not read or write until he reached thirteen.
