I live in a seaside town in Kent, England where my ancestors have resided for generations.  I have been married to Maria for over thirty years and have two fine children. My writing began at an early age and has developed over the years.  In June 2012 my first novel The Belgae Torc was published and in May 2013 my second novel The Witness was launched on May 4th and is now available on Amazon and in good book shops. The Belgae Torc is the first part of The Torc Trilogy, the second book in the series is half written and should be ready for release early in 2014.  I know how the story ends but will have to listen to my characters for the plot of the third book. The Witness is a psychological thriller and is a stand alone novel.  I have an idea that some of my books could overlap, many of the characters could appear in other books, and places described could also be used.  I have two more stories going around in my head that could be used to achieve this. I love writing, creating characters gives me a thrill, they become like old friends and finding out about them as their stories unfold is fascinating. The cover of The Witness is based on a painting that I did of my character Josie MacDonald.  The original is on box canvas, 500mmX500mm painted using acrylic.
