Born in 1951 I am a British historian who enjoys investigating mysteries and writing about them. The greatest mystery of all is the question of life, the universe and everything, and this has been a lifelong passion for me.

Throughout my life I have studied Religion, Palaeontology and the Life Sciences and as a result I can be classed as an Old Age Creationist. I am a keen student of the Bible and Archaeology, and I have studied many ancient writings, often in their original languages. I am also a keen researcher on Biology, Genetics, Theology, Mythology, Geology and the Supernatural, and often you will find in my books incorporate many of these sciences in their content.

I have been involved in IT since 1983 and between 1990 - 1995 I was Technical Director of a PC manufacturing company. My particular interest though has been in software development and from 1997 - 2009 I was Software Development Manager for a major health and safety organisation. In 2003 I became the finalist for the Oscar like BCS awards for software excellence for the IT industry with a COSHH Mananagment System that I wrote for the company. As a consequence of my computer programming experience, I tend to apply logic and reason to any subject that I study and so my books are not based upon and preconceived ideas.

I think what the famous long time atheist Antony Flew (1923-2010) said before he died having discovered God says it all, "I have followed the argument where it has led me. And it has led to accept the existence of a self-existent, immutable, immaterial, omnipotent, and omniscient Being".
