I live in Hodge Hill in Birmingham with my wonderful partner Breda. We have been together for 25 years and it’s been great. We have a Labrador retriever dog named Holly who is nearly 13 years old.

My first published book “Jack the Ripper – The Policeman” came out in 2022 and although some people have said it’s too gory in places I have told the truth as to what life was like in Victorian times. Victorian Britain is my speciality as I love the era.
