I am an artist, writer and market trader, now seventy-six years old and working as hard as ever.

I pursued a long and rewarding career as an advertising artist in London, but I began writing seriously after attending a creative writing course in 2001. Since that time I have written a successful non-fiction book, “A Vibration Measuring Machine”, the official history of Rega hi-fi, a play, “The Hunted Man”, performed at The Ink Festival in Suffolk, as well as a number of rejected comedy scripts and literary essays.

I love studying characters in my writing, ever searching to find the humour in their lives. Having published my debut novel, "The Blessed Decline of Wordsworth Miller", I am now writing a sequel, "The Sublime Descent of Inigo Flint", set in the same location but with new protagonists.

I earn my living primarily from my own original art deco posters that I sell online through my website and in a local market.

I live happily with my wife of fifty-six years deep in rural Suffolk. We have a son living in Suffolk, a daughter in Michigan, USA, and three grown up grandchildren.
