Born in Sutton-In-Ashfield, England.
As a child, playing on the Major Oak in Sherwood forest with his brothers, but never getting to be Robin Hood, maybe that was because they were older.
After losing his grandfather, some forty-plus years ago now, he left him a handful of WWII items, which sparked an interest in world war history, in particular, WWII.
The inspiration for writing the first novel in the “Blue Ring Assassins” series came about after watching a TV program called “World War Weird” currently writing book four; their adventures continue.
