Thirty years ago I sent off a few youthful novels to UK publishers but couldn't follow through with the process because of my peripatetic lifestyle. 

I have lived and worked in England, Germany, Spain, Greece, Italy, and Australia and took up writing again after retiring from a late career as a hotel manager in Victoria BC.

During breaks in my writing life I have taken forays into painting and photography.

In the last few years I have published a collection of short stories called "The Little Axes of Destiny", a historical novel called "Lillian", a memoir called "io vagabondo", and an eco-fiction called "Boneyard Highway". In April 2023 I published a mystery / crime novel called "Lotusland". In June 2023 I published another book of short stories called To The Pips.

All of my books are available as e-books on Google Play, as well as paperback editions on Amazon and other major online book sellers like Abe Books and Barnes & Noble.

Thanks for reading!
