An ancient hack (well past his 'sell-by' date), an advertising copywriter in a previous life whose work, unlike that of Dorothy L Sayers, Fay Weldon or Salman Rushdie, never leapt off the page into mainstream literature.
Long-since retired, and having plenty of time (in the short-term, at least!), he devotes much of his leisure hours writing short stories and verse. A 'silver-surfer' himself, he is delighted that the internet and Kindle exposes his work to a potential readership of millions!
