After a brief sojourn as a furniture sales representative and a couple of other jobs that bored the sense out of me, I decided to read a book and then become a teacher! Now, almost twenty years later I've swapped the whiteboard marker for a keyboard and become a freelance writer.
I've written several books with an educational slant and completed quite a few commissions dealing with everything from bananas, barley, golf, music, insects, tractors and other assorted beasts. As a distraction I enjoy being a dad to four children and love sailing with the captain (my wife as she is known to one and all). I play in a blues band as often as possible and making a note of all the bizarre behaviour that goes on around me.
