about me

Back in the mists of time,when I had more hair and less wrinkles, I had this dream to be a writer. I enjoyed reading and English was my favourite lesson in school, my teacher was the spitting image of Tattoo from the series Fantasy Island, even spoke somewhat like him. My first attempt at a story came in the junior school I attended, it was a competition for a story to be included in the school magazine. My particular missive was a ghost story about a murdered man who hounds his killer to his death. The story came first and was entered in the mag. I think this is where the dream began. I was about 10 or 11 years of age at this time.Anyway to move on, I decided to approach Tattoo about a writing course with the writers bureau, he said he would look at the brochures when he had time, well it appeared he did not have time, when I asked him the answer was "Not had time yet" so I was discouraged. No help from someone who was payed to help, and life after this got in the way putting my dream into that small room at the back of your mind that is used to store life's little moments. The years passed seemingly in the blink of an eye and I find myself living in Swansea, Dylan Thomas country, I have rediscovered my dream lurking in the corners of my psyche like an indolent child seeking attention. I have brought it out into the light of day and am once again on the path of my dream, relearning the tools I have forgotten or have grown rusty. Learning the wonders of the written word and doing battle with passive and active verbs, trying to show and not tell. I live in Llansamlet nr Swansea with my wife Lisa and our two children Tammie and Steffan.
ACTION:Pulse Pounding Tales Vol 1-
In 2012 I had a short story accepted for this book compiled by Matt Hilton, feat such authors as Stephen Leather, Matt himself and many other prestigious authors. My story is titled Eastern Fury, the protagonist is a Ninja warrior sent to America in 1860 to apprehend a renegade Ninja for the murder of one of his clan brothers. The story is like David Carradines Kung Fu on steroids. I enjoyed writing the story so much I have decided to do a series of short stories featuring this character.Action is released in May 2012 as an e-book for the Kindle, if you like stories with plenty of Action check it out. Anyway till next time...peace and light to you all
