I am a first time author and I am currently living in the Philippines, with my partner Eulee and our son Jonjo, although I was born in Chatham, Kent.
In December of last year , due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, I was forced into early retirement from my job as Mall General Manager at the first Destination Shopping Mall of its type in Ramallah, Palestine. I loved living in Palestine and enjoyed my time there immensely. Ramallah is a wonderful city and the people are open and friendly. Palestine is also steeped in a wonderful history.
My career in shopping malls and property management has taken me to quite a few countries where I have worked and lived over the past fourteen years, including Kuwait, Qatar and Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the UAE. Before embarking on my travels I had managed, and been part of the senior management teams at shopping malls in England, notably Bluewater in Kent, WestQuay in Southampton and the Whitgift Centre in Croydon, London.
I have taken this opportunity ,with the amount of spare time we have all found during these challenging times to write the book I have always dreamed of writing. I hope to embark on a serious writing career and I have already started my second novel.
