About the Author:

I live in Essex, over looking the Thames, and I'm about 40 minutes outside London. I have two boys, aged 13 and 9. My hobbies, first and foremost I love to read. I can lose entire days in a good book. Of course I also love to write. And when the opportunity arises, which isn't anywhere near as much as I'd like these days, I horse ride. It was about ten years ago that I actually started writing, but nothing ever grabbed my attention for long, so I have a drawer full of half finished stories. Maybe I'll complete them one day. About three years ago I came up with a story that I thought could be a book. It was only going to be one book, but when I started writing it, it evolved and got longer and longer, and I knew at that point it would be more than one. My worry now is getting it completed in three. Even after I started writing In the Shadows, I never intended to publish it. It was just something I wanted to do for myself, to say I'd done it, but I showed it, very nervously, to my sister-in-law one day, (after a lot of red wine), and she loved it, and kept pushing me for more of the story. Once she'd finished the book, she urged me to publish it, so I did. I have an idea for another book, once free from the Shadows is finished. At the end of the day, I love writing, I love being able to create a story, and hopefully convey it, so others feel the same emotions I do when I imagine their story.
