About

I studied Literature with Media at the North East Wales Institute (now Glyndwr University) in Wrexham in North Wales where I live and they gave me a lovely degree in 2000. I am married to a mental health nurse and have a son with autistic spectrum dissorder. I work at Coleg Lal (Yale College) Wrexham as a support worker for students with physical and learning difficulties. I am also the bassist with the rock band Green Eyed Monsterz.

I am also a self-published author of the paranormal tale 'Projector', and the madcap comedy Jurassic Jack books for children. Both ebooks are available from Kindle and Smashwords at a very reasonable price.

Story Behind The Book

The original idea came through a short story I wrote for my son when he was 8. Robin has autism and I thought as he was mad about dinosaurs and I loved my rock music that I would combine the two and see what happened. The book contains the same mad humour that we both share today.

Reviews

I read the first half dozen chapter and then realised I'm not 8-10. I love the inventiveness. Some of the one liners were genuinely funny and your irreverent use of characters is inspirational. But like I say, I'm not 8-10. Best of luck. Authonomy author.
