Hi there.

I'm based in the UK.

I have three kids, all grown-up now and four grandkids, making me feel even older than I am, and I never thought that would be possible!

I've been writing role-playing games for many, many years (since 1980) and have five published and am planning a couple more this year.

I have written a couple of screenplays and love the format, both for TV Series and for Movies - not had any luck getting them picked up yet, but still have a few more ideas I want to get out there.

My main writing passions are novels and short stories - getting the sequel to 'SoulDice' in to shape and almost finished first draft of my sci-fi epic.

I'm a drummer in two bands and a bass-player in another - I have an ingrained passion for music and have hugely varied musical tastes, but the bulk of my 'go-to' play-lists are from the blues / rock / progressive rock genres.

I wrote a well-being and awareness book, 'Spirituality Without The BS' as a response to the vast amount of nonsense out there about connecting with your spirituality.

My next '...Without The BS' book is going to be about Grief - so many people are conflicted about the 'right' and 'best' way to go through grieving. I have personal experience of the most tragic kind, as do my children, and we have learned a great deal about living with grief, it would be good to share in an effort to help others.

I'm a facilitator at Banbury Writers Cafe and love interacting with other writers.

Hopefully you'll find something to enjoy among my outpourings!

Thanks for reading.
