I've been a free-lance writer for over forty years but my output to-date hasn't been widely read. It's mainly been user guides and help text for IT software, articles for business-to-business magazines and website content (including blogs). All pretty boring but the magazine articles at least gave me the opportunity to interview some interesting people, including a few celebrity chefs.
I've long wanted to write a novel but, with a mortgage to pay and a family to support, I needed a more dependable income. Now I'm semi-retired and the mortgage is paid off, I've been able to fulfil my ambition. The result is my first novel, "The Itch That Couldn't Be Scratched", which was published on 1st March 2024.
It's a tale of obsession and it's effect on relationships. Of a man's quest to achieve justice for a woman he never knew. And how good intentions can often have unforeseen and unfortunate consequences.
I was born and brought up in West Yorkshire, England, and I still live there with my wife Freda. We've been married over fifty years and have two sons and two grandchildren.
