About This Author

Born, against the odds, to a widowed artist, in a neighbour's bed. Husband, father, novelist, playwright, short story writer, blogger, word wrangler, committed agnostic, romantic open-minded radical liberal, sometimes dangerous to know. Raised by a mother who knew what love meant and a step-father who lacked imagination but loved and educated me in things natural and worldly. Writing the wrong things for half a lifetime, until I learned who I was and understood my opinion was as valid as that of anyone else. My fiction, the only place I ever bend the truth and which, after love, remains my raison dêtre, includes romance, science fiction, fantasy, erotica, horror and something that purports to be literary.
