About

I am an Englishman, born and technically educated in London, England mas a design engineer. For developments in low temperature (cryo)surgery instruments, and very high temperature (carbon fibre) processing furnaces, the Queen awarded me an MBE.

Earlier in life I wrote and sold some science-fiction and humorous stories, was an active SF Fan, and a spare time lecturer for the British Interplanetary -Society. Now retired, I am a writer of easy-to-read speculative fiction, with young adults in mind. My latest book, TENERIFE TALL TALES won the SF Category in the 2009 New York Beach Book Festival Contest.
