I'm 45 - how the hell did that happen? One day I was a crazy youngster in his thirties and boom! It just creeps up on you.

After graduating from the University of Kent with a degree in English and American Literature and Film Studies, I went to work for a movie stills archive called Kobal - great people! But I realised I needed more, so decided to join the Army and see the world.

After ten awesome years of military tourism in the Royal Engineers and ETS, I left in 2006, married the woman of my dreams and settled down in Saffron Walden. I also started work for Jagex - a phenomenally successful internet games company. I am now back working for the Army because those box sets aren't going to buy themselves.

I have worked on a number of computer games including Merlin: The Game for Bossa Studios. I have written articles and reviews for Fantasybookreview.co.uk and SFcrowsnest.org as well as book and movie reviews for Soldier magazine.

My passions are Star Wars, Games Workshop, cricket and wildlife - all that grizzly bears really need is a good cuddle!
