He had to retire at age fifty-five on health grounds.
He didn’t start writing books until he was seventy, when he wrote his unpublished autobiography, Three Score Years and Ten: The Life So Far of an Ordinary Man, under his real name, Harley Jones.
He has been married to the same lady, Betty, for sixty years and has two grown-up children, Wendy and Ian, who between them produced three grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
He now spends his time enjoying DIY, gardening, playing bowls and writing novels and poetry for pleasure.view less
