Born in 1936.
I retired from a career in engineering in 1999 and took a degree in history followed by a masters in intellectual history. I have co-authored a series of books on the history of Essex under the ‘Essex Hundred’ imprint and historical research remains an interest.
I began writing poetry and short stories for my own amusement and to satisfy an abiding curiosity in the ‘what ifs’ of life, people and events. If any of my stories have raised a smile, that is a bonus.
