The author was born into a small village community in Kent. His family on his father's side had strong connections to literature and poetry. Choosing a different path, he was educated as an engineer and developed his career to become a divisional director of a large UK company. In his working life, he met many interesting people and experienced most aspects of human nature. On his retirement, he has pursued personal interests and was delighted when two beautiful granddaughters arrived into his family. Their happiness and well-being have been a large part of his life ever since. Telling them exciting and imaginative stories has been the inspiration for his current work.
