I was born in Highgate, North London. As a family, my mother Ailish, father Harry and Jim
(my younger brother) moved to Essex, when I was 7 years old. I moved back to London in
my early twenties, got married and had 1 daughter - Krystle. moved to Hampshire when I was
27; I got divorced in the 1990s. I now live with my current partner, Lesley. We have a son -
Michael (born 2000) and two cats, Theo and Cleo. I have three grandchildren – Dominic,
Olivia and Tyrese, via Krystle.
I have been writing poetry from an early age and penned some short stories and half-finished
novellas / novels whilst working in Corporate roles. In 2013, I decided to curtail my ‘business
career’ and a year and a bit later, that goal was achieved. I was then free to pursue activities
(that did not include working as a PAYE employee) principally, writing. Though the timing of
other events has somewhat slowed progress.
My life, in two paragraphs!
