At the close, mankind must stand with the Host against the Fallen Angel himself.

Author Biography

Growing up on a secluded, old fashioned country estate with older brothers who had better things to do than amuse an irritating little brother, I soon found something called 'reading'. I was late coming to reading; as a young child, I was many years behind my peers. It took extra lessons and an enthusiastic teacher to push me and after finding The Moomins, I raced ahead. By the time I was ten, most of my time was spent up a tree with a varied succession of books. It was a short time later I started turning my hand to writing. Life progressed and employment bought my soul, from retail and into the civil service, I still wrote for fun. It was only after leaving the Ministry of Defence I began to look at publishing. After six months of living off my bank balance, Her Name is James was self-published and within 18 months, that was followed by The Gypsy's Lie and the Dark Angel trilogy. Now I'm into the first science fiction / fantasy story that will form part of a series, currently titled The Bunker-born, much is written but much more is still to be done. Through all this hope and optimism, I'm supported by my wife of 25 years and 3 full grown sons. Currently living on the Hampshire / Surrey border in England, my eyes are ever optimistic to write for a living and shift my view to Snowdonia in the beauty of Wales.
