About the Author

Missing the London blitzes, he suffered the full horror of the V1 and V2 raids when he returned. After a fragmented state education, he enlisted in the Fleet Air Arm. From an early age, he wanted to write, but a lack of life experience proved to be a handicap. His early efforts at writing persuaded him to travel. He began writing Fortune's Bastard on a Far East cruise before leaving the navy to qualify as a barrister.
