I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, halfway through the 20th century, and was brought up just along the road in South Queensferry (the Ferry) in the shadow of the world-famous Forth Bridge.
Retiring from a business career in 2007, I have devoted myself to writing.
I have published two novels, 'The Island of Whispers' and 'The Olive Branch'; a collection of short stories about growing up in the Ferry during the 1950's and 1960's, ‘Ferry Tales’; and a biography of my late father, ‘The Bookie’s Runner’. All of my published books can be purchased here on WriteWords.
I presently live on the fringes of an ancient volcano, Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh.
