Taking the long way round, he graduated in medicine at Bristol in 1961 and subsequently served at sea with P&O and the Royal Navy.
Recently, he was surprised to read of a confrontation between Union and Confederate warships in 1861 in Southampton Dock, now largely forgotten.
He has scribbled away for years but from curiosity about CSS Nashville and USS Tuscarora and what effect they might have had on a local family came the beginnings of this yarn.
Retired now, he lives amongst the South Downs from which one can still see the sea.view less
