BIO

I am a retired software developer. I left school at 15, which was pretty normal back then and went to  a college of further education, where I got some A-levels. I ended up studying Zoology at University College Cardiff. I worked as a zoologist for two years at Liverpool Museum then retrained as a systems analyst and spent the rest of my career in various roles in IT. I now live alone, since my cat passed, only a few miles from where I was born on the Wirral pennisular in the UK. I am most often found in my mobile home just a short walk from a quiet beach, surrounded by farmland, even though I am on the edge of the mighty metropolis of Liverpool.

​

I have always told stories and written and have had a few short stories published in small press magazines. I now wish I had pursued writing more seriously at an earlier stage in my life, but like many of you I am sure, I was too involved in trying to keep  a roof over my head and food on the table. Still, maybe I was not ready to write seriously back then. A rather famous writer who read some of my stories once told me, I had no difficult getting words onto  a page, and that I just needed to find my story. Hopefully I am ready now.

Since the place I live is much more photogenic than me, I've added a couple of photographs.
