He has had books and articles published on cricket, but this is first attempt at writing fiction for a wider audience - or should it be “Faction”?
He has been fascinated with the United States Army Air Force and still has vivid memories of meeting several of their number as a boy at junior school towards the end of the Second World War. Their friendliness and generosity remain firmly in his mind.
Outside Modern History and English, his greatest interests are cricket as a Life Member of Lancashire County Cricket Club and soccer where he has a season ticket at Manchester United.
He is married to Jennifer with whom he has three sons, the families of whom are scattered round the globe.view less
