I retired in 2000 after spending forty three years in the accountancy profession, the last twenty three years of which I was an accounts manager in a Hampshire based practice. I am now a writer of crime novels, I am currently (as of April 2025) editing book number three in a series featuring the Dorset Police Major Crime Investigation Team led by DCI Mike Bishop. Having spent a large part of my 'day job' auditing company accounts I will be the first to admit that I can sometimes get involved in a lot of research before I begin writing, including walking around the locations of my stories and reading academic papers on various subjects etc. My writing has been greatly encouraged by my wife Janis and daughter Nathalie who themselves are both keen readers.

Thanks for reading my website and an even bigger thanks if you have read either or both of my books, as stated in the bio I am currently editing the third book. I have other time commitments so the process of writing each book tends to take about two years from concept to publishing, hopefully having come this far you will stick around for the ride. Any reviews are gratefully received.
