Background
Information
I was born in Birmingham, England, lived in the South East, principally London and Essex. Lived in South Africa for five years in the late 1980's early 1990's.
My major influences are classics of English literature and the writing style of W. Somerset Maugham, whose clear but penetrating style I try to emulate.
