I was born in North London way back in the middle of the Swinging Sixties. My home had zero mod cons and even less disposable income. However, through those formative, smoke-hazed days, my parents introduced me to a series of bizarre and eccentric characters. They would turn up on the doorstep; poets, musicians, artists, actors, all with wild stories to tell, and I would listen and absorb their tales. So to mum and dad (RIP) I give my thanks for a tendency to drift off into a world of my own imagination.

I write when I can and try to bring my nostalgia for those bygone times to life.

By day I've had a varied career: antiquarian bookseller, digital marketing agency founder and I even launched a business which went from a valuation of millions to bust in the space of 18 long months. That was fun...

I live with my lovely family and Billie the dog up near Alexandra Palace.
