I was born in the summer of 1949, brought up in Surrey with its green fields and trees. It was a wonderful free playground for a child like me who loved nature.

The rich optimism of the sixties then fostered my love of Rock Music and Sci-fi.

I read avidly and devoured the works of Isaac Asimov, Clifford Simak, Robert Sheckley, Philip K Dick, Robert Heinlein, James White, Kurt Vonnegut Jnr, John Wyndham, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley and later Iain M Banks and Douglas Adams. I started writing and never looked back.

I brought up my children in Yorkshire and enjoyed a career in education.

Nowadays I spend my time writing, reading, travelling the world, enjoying my family and attending concerts. It’s a hard life!
