About

Now 83 years-old, fitted with a pace-maker and forbidden to indulge in contact sports, I suppose I will have to behave more responsibly from now on. Certainly I will not be making a comeback to the ring anytime soon. Nevertheless, I am happily married (still) with two children aged 51 and 49 and four grandchildren: 26, 21, 16 and 14. Born in London, living in Kent, England. Have written one book, 2 full-length plays, several one-act plays and quite a lot of short stories.
The book is called A Pattern of Shadows and is set in Kent at the outbreak of World War One. It took six years to write because of the amount of research that had to be undertaken. The whole book covers just the first month (August) in which three young people have to come to terms with the changes to their lives that the impending conflict brings. The action takes the reader to London, New York, France and India. Some sex scenes.
