I worked in the UK for over thirty years as a software engineer and consultant. Between 1997 and 2001 I had quite a lot of time on my hands due to a chronic illness and I became interested in writing fiction after buying a book at an airport which turned out to be so cliché that I said to myself, surely anyone could write better that that, even me. Even though I only said it to myself I felt I needed to find out.
That was when I started writing The Clueless Detective, my first novel. Much to my surprise I discovered that writing was actually fun. Although I completed several drafts the book was not ready for publication when I recovered my health and went back to work. Now that I am retired, I had the time to finish off the book. I also submit many offerings to the Guardian Weekly and a Google search on my name will find many of those that have been published.
I have now published my second novel, The Money Flight. I am part way through writing a third novel and I'm hoping I shall have time to complete it sometime in 2013.
As well as writing fiction, I enjoy learning to play jazz on the saxophone and photography. I also have a keen interest in aviation having actively been a private pilot for ten years, though now lapsed, and I've written an ATC simulator for the PC.view less
