I studied history at Reading University before becoming a Civil Servant. I've worked in central government for over twenty years, largely in health and nursing. Liberty Bound is my debut novel. My literary influences include the social commentary of George Orwell, the adventures of John Buchan and the foresight and imagination of Ray Bradbury. Combined with a continued love of history, I like to delve into the past to speculate on the future, while dissecting human foibles to build characters and story lines.
