about this author
I'm an author of two autobiographies and am a former Royal Marine Commando (7 years Service) I left in 1990. I currently work in the I.T. Industry in the UK as a Site Operations Manager. I am happily married and have been with my wife for 18 great years. We have two fabulous sons. My hobbies are reading, writing, keeping myself fit (mainly Bodypump), Martial arts (Blackbelt in Ninjutsu) and playing and coaching table tennis competetively in my local town leagues. I tend to read mainly non fiction books, but still dabble from time to time with fiction stories. Reading, I feel, is a great way to relax. Steven Preece |

review of Always a Marine: The Return to Civvy Street:
"I read this immediately after reading the first, companion book, 'Amongst the Marines'. Both are best thought of as two volumes of one book. The prose is startlingly simple, a clear account of a young man's entry from a none-too-perfect childho...more " | |||
