I was born and still live in the Black Country in England, with my wife and re-homed greyhound.

From a very early age, I have written stories, much to the frustration, I am sure, of my English teachers. I have always had a fascination for British and Norse folktales and myths, which is where much of my inspiration is drawn from.

The Burning Sword, part one in The Orcadian series, is my first published children's novel and I am currently working on the second part of the series.
