About the author

After graduating with a degree from Exeter University in England I began a career in education by teaching biology in a school in Salisbury, Wiltshire. From there I went to Queen’s College in the Bahamas for three years to play rugby and teach, in that order, and then on to Mexico City to teach at the British Embassy School. Two years after that I found myself at the Banda School in Nairobi in Kenya and that’s where, after several years of teaching human biology, I tripped over the film business by working for six months on ‘Sheena, Queen of the Jungle’. I’ve been an Assistant Director in film and TV ever since. During that time I’ve worked on some great scripts like ‘Memento’ and ‘American Beauty’ and some not so great ones like – well, you can look up my resume on IMDB.com if you’re really that interested. Of course, with over forty productions under my belt, I started writing my own scripts with some encouraging responses - but no checks. When a good producer friend of mine read the film script of ‘My Life in Black and White’ he suggested that I write it as a novel - so I did. I had a lot of fun with the project and people seemed to like reading it so I wrote a second book called 'Hunting Cat Face'. The success of that title led to my third novel, 'The Paynes Of Heritage' being published by Taylor and Seale earlier this year.
