About the Author
Google my name and you will see that it was as a business author that I had initially established my writing reputation, with invitations from the likes of HarperCollins and the Dragons’ Den production team who were keen to employ my knack for making complex business concepts accessible.
But, thankfully, life changed and, now that I was not driven by the same commercial need, I quickly moved on to completing and publishing my first novella, ‘Killing Time in Kenton’.
I love stories. Other people’s stories. Stories that capture those small snapshots of imperfect living. Like so many writers I collect other people’s anecdotes and tales and squirrel them away ready for the wintery landscape of an empty page.
I am convinced that every good conversation hides something precious that’s waiting to be mined. And it can happen in the most ordinary of circumstances: waiting for a plane; meeting another dog walker; chatting to someone in a supermarket queue. Young, old or some vague point in between, no person’s life is private when a writer is listening.
Behind the Books
Having devoured the great Victorian novelists in my youth, I have always wanted to fashion a series of books with a strong sense of place and time. It was only when I moved to East Anglia that I found the geographical ‘voice’ that I was searching for and which is so apparent in the first of my ‘Winifred Smy Mysteries’, Killing Time in Kenton. The novella’s events all unfold against the backdrop of a small East Suffolk hamlet in the uncertain years that immediately precede the First World War.
With a keen sense of the need for historical accuracy gained through extensive research, I incorporate real locations and local stories; even the surnames in my fiction are those that have emerged from my scouring of local churchyards and parish records, usually in the company of my very badly-behaved Lhasa Apso dog, Coco.
What about outside of writing? Well, I am a keen pianist, guitarist, and composer, regularly partnering with other musicians online under the band name ‘The One Beneath’.
I also support Coventry City Football Club am keen to point out in my defense that it was because I was born there. #PUSB
