The Hard Bit – About Me
Throughout my school years, I was never the typical academic achiever. Constantly on the move during my early life as my parents never settled, I found solace in developing my social skills. Little did I know that, by the age of 16, I carried a story within me waiting to be shared. However, it would be some time before I mustered the confidence to pen down the tales that swirled within my imagination.
Fast forward to the present, I’ve grown older and evolved into a family man. This transformation in my life has granted me the time and space to embrace writing—a creative outlet I’m continually seeking to enhance. Writing isn’t just an artistic endeavour for me; it’s also a powerful stress reliever, something I genuinely relish.
As an author based in Suffolk, my life is relatively tranquil, which suits me well. I call Ipswich, England my home, where I manage a small IT company that occupies a significant portion of my time. Besides my business pursuits, I dedicate some of my time to mentorship, assisting fellow local business owners. Martial arts and role-playing, interests cultivated since my early school days, have also left their mark on my writing.
I’ve been a proud member of Ipswich Round Table for well over a decade, a group dedicated to offering financial support and expertise to local communities. Charity work holds a special place in my heart and I still help out charitable causes as much as I can.
My latest writing centres around the Suffolk Sentinel series, a contemporary take on wizardry, vampires and the supernatural for adult readers. With a gritty narrative and a compelling lead character, this series is gaining momentum, with the release of its fifth instalment at the end of 2023.
There is also ‘The Plague Doctor’ which was my first printed novel, a crime/thriller inspired by my keen observation of people and a frustration with the British justice system. Additionally, I’ve authored “The Squire,” an epic fantasy, which serves as the initial instalment in “The Tales of Marilia Saga” (currently available in eBook format). You’ll find “The Plague Doctor” in both print and eBook formats on Amazon.
