Fortunate in having parents who read to me, I became addicted to books from a young age. Once I could do this for myself, I never stopped. The books that reinforced this love of reading were The Chronicles of Narnia, by C S Lewis - for their wonderful portrayal of character, the evocation of another world, the suspense and also the symbolism.
I came to writing late, starting with short stories. My two novels to date, 'His Willing Marionettes' and 'Tightening his Grip', are Books 1 and 2 of my projected trilogy The Main Man. I would describe them as contemporary novels about teenagers and young adults, written more for the adult market.
