Tony has degrees in both Philosophy and History of Art, which may explain why he is married to a painter and is working on restoring the tower of a 13th century church to act as his scriptorium. His chequered career has seen him teaching in Bulgaria, managing projects in Spain and writing everywhere.
His writing life has been as a freelance arts journalist, writer of a text book on Communications, assistant editor on a poetry magazine, writer of exhibition catalogue introductions and editor of a multi-volume training manual for British army officers. In between he has written poetry, short stories and several novels, including spy stories, detective novels and a hard-hitting social realist novel.
