I am ex-UK Customs Officer living in South Dorset, UK. I spent almost forty years chasing drug smugglers,fraudsters and traveled the length and breadth of the UK and a little of France to do so. I have tried to make my memoir see the human side of the Customs Office who may have had a bad press in the past!

I write a lot and hope to publish more books soon.

I deal in antiques and collectables and spend a lot of time reading, most fiction and especially thrillers and crime.

I am also interested in travel having visited most of the countries of Europe, South Africa and Peru and the US

I also enjoy film and TV series, especially those about espionage and the secret service activities of many countries.

As you can see I have added three more books to my portfolio with more to come I hope.

The memoir I think has received a few bad reviews because I told the truth and as they say "the truth hurts" or can do. I make no apologies for telling the truth, it's just a shame that maybe some readers let their review not reflect the whole book but perhaps one or two sentences about themselves that they did not like!
