So, what can I say about myself. Firstly, I live in Luton, Bedfordshire with my beautiful wife, Susan and our handsome little boy, John, who has autism.

By day I work as an IT Database Analyst at the head office of a well-known motorway service station operator. I basically make sure all the data, promotion and sales are all correct on the system.

Aside from writing and reading I like to run, and I have competed in a marathon and couple of half marathons. I have traced my family tree with great results. I managed to trace the Mayberry branch to 16th Century Gloucester to John Mayberry born in 1545. I believe either him or his parents came over from France, but I have never been able to get conclusive proof of that. I traced another branch of my tree to a Sarah Gordon born circa 1700 who was quite possibly an aristocrat with some royal blood as she lived in a castle in Wales.

For my sins, I am an Arsenal supporter. We have had a cracking start to the Premier League this year though, so I am proud of that.

As mentioned above I live in Luton but I originally from Leighton Buzzard down the road. A small town mainly famous for Kajagogoo and Mary Norton, the author of The Borrowers. Incidentally her big old home where she based some of her stories from formed the main building of my old middle school. Unfortunately, I didn't see any Borrowers during my time there.

I am half Welsh on my dad's side. He was born near Pontypridd, but his dad died just before he was born and due to money issues, his mum sold up and moved him and his sister all the way to Newquay, Cornwall where he grew up until he met my mum who is originally from Plymouth.
