Come with me on a journey through imagination...

The publishing industry tells me I write commercial fiction. I guess I do, even though I'm not a huge fan of 'tags'. To me, and the readers who enjoy my work, I simply tell a good story. Most of the time I don't know where the ideas come from. Occasionally I will see a news report or a TV programme that sparks something. But the way it usually seems to happen is that I wake one morning and the seed of an idea is there.

Maybe this strange mind I seem to possess works better when I'm asleep than it does in the waking hours! But one thing I am sure of...if you're nine years old or ninety, my books will take you to places you didn't expect to go. I really hope you enjoy the ride!

I lead a pretty simple life. It's a full-time job writing, video-making, designing covers and websites, marketing...oh yes, getting a book on the shelf in today's world is about far more than typing words on a page!

I live in a tiny hamlet in Norfolk, England. I'm surrounded by beautiful countryside, and depending on which direction I head, the river, the sea or the city are only a few miles away.

When my brain needs a rest, my favourite chill-out activity is anything with four or two wheels going as fast as possible to be the first over the finish line.
