Immigrated to Australia with my "ten pound pom" family in the fifties spending my boyhood in Victoria (Australia). Family moved to South Australia at the beginning of my teenager-hood. Followed all the sci-fi TV series e.g. Star Trek,Lost in Space, Dr Who, Time Tunnel. And then in my adulthood watched all the sci-fi movies, Star Wars, Battlestar Galatica, Star Gate, etc. Have always loved English Literature all through my school years and started writing romantic poetry, graduating to my first non-fiction book in 2003 on separation and divorce. A close friend of mine seemed to recognise that I had the talent to write novels and that I should be entertaining readers with the sci-fi genre that i love. He read my new book "Sentinels of Tzurac" and enjoyed it so much that he is eager to read my sequels in the trilogy. That has given me the self-confidence to continue writing full time which I am doing afetr recently leaving the Publis Service after 40 years.
