Even though I haven't lived there for many years, I still consider myself to be an Englishman.
Background
Information
As an Engineer I've been able to work in many different countries. This has provided me with a palette of experiences that I can dip into anytime I need to paint a pen portrait.
I was also an Hypnotherapist for several years and still give lectures on hypnosis to grade 12 students as part of their psychology course.
My favourite authors are English: Allan Sillitoe and Leslie Thomas. I try not to think that they have influenced me as I want to be recognised as a writer in my own right . . . but I imagine that they have.
10th OCTOBER 2016
It's been several years since I posted anyhing on AD. In that time I have written a lot of stuff including 2 science fiction best selling novels - still trying to find a publisher - and dozens of short stories most of which have seen print.
Unfortunately I was diagnosed with Parkinson's 7 years ago and with it comes apathy along with many other more well known symptoms such as tremors, loss of smell and shuffling gait.
But I still manage to produce stories for my various editors . . . it just takes a lot more effort than it used to.
Birth Place
Gillingham, England
Accomplishments
My stories have appeared in various magazines and on the radio. In 1986 I ghost wrote the biography of Arturo Tolentino, the running mate of Ferdinand Marcos.
I was short-listed for the CBC literary contest (radio play) years ago.
I was also a runner up in a short story contest run by Teheran's, Khayan newspaper (English) and the South African Science Fiction Writers short story contest. Some day I hope to WIN something!
All in all I've had hundreds of stories, articles and letters published and broadcast in several different countries over the past 30 years.
A recent article I wrote was used by Allan Thicke's "Animal Miracles".
