Having worked in engineering projects, and travelled around the world for most of my life, my books always include first-hand experiences gained whilst a resident of countries including the USA, UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, New Zealand and my country of birth, Australia. A lifetime interest in all forms of art has culminated in writing fictional art crime novels. Although the basis of each story is a serious crime, I like to include snippets of humour that is peculiar to the country featured at a particular moment as the story unfolds. Now, during the pandemic, Australians are unable to travel overseas, and with extreme restrictions imposed by our state government, there is plenty of time available to devote to creative writing. With three novels published, current work is on an autobiography, and a fourth novel in the art crime series.
