About the author

He lives in Devon and spent most of his working life as a history teacher at a large comprehensive school. In retirement, he has continued to turn his interest in the past into fiction.

His author profile says he has long been fascinated by the First World War and has visited the Western Front several times, as well as the Gallipoli battlefields. That interest helped inspire his first book, which he says grew out of long conversations with veterans, while later work drew on his interest in the British home front during the Second World War.

His published books include An Ordered Estate, M-MIKE, Red Cross, and Towfield at War, showing a clear interest in military history, war, and how large conflicts shape everyday lives.
