I live in Kent U.K. with my family and my dog. Born in 1951 I was educated at Rochester Grammar School and Durham University. I have been writing, thinking about writing, making things up and generally telling tall stories since childhood, but got going in a serious way about ten years ago when some friends challenged me to put up or shut up. My first novel, 'Leviathan with a Fish-hook,' was published in 2009; the second, 'The Monster Behemoth', in 2010; and the final title in the trilogy, 'The Land of Nimrod,' in 2011.

For now, and for the foreseeable future, I am writing Christian fiction. It's a very different thing from the multifarious manifestations of this genre in America, where it is very popular. My work is realistic, 'warts and all', not afraid of doubts, fears and failures. The people in it are believable human beings with no hint of a halo: just like their creator.
