Ever since primary school, I had a love of books. I’d read voraciously anything I could get hold of, but it wasn’t until I discovered the Horror and Mystery genres that the bookworm in me flew.
Starting early with “The Howling” by Gary Brandner and the pulp classics by Guy N. Smith about giant killer crabs, I then devoured everything James Herbert, Richard Laymon, Shaun Hutson and Dean R. Koontz offered up.
Then at the early age of 14, he tried his hand at writing with “The Soul of the Gem” which was almost picked up by Headline Publishing but sadly didn’t see the light of day.
Joining a magazine company, I wrote articles and reviews which scratched the writing itch but never fulfilled it, and I yearned to write a novel as I was forever coming up with ideas that lay unwritten.
Years passed and I became an admin for social media pages online, but quickly found that I was hindered by media law in what I could reveal, so filled the gaps with dramatic prose that was enjoyed by the audience following the page.
Calls to write a book followed and never one to deny a request for help, I finally began my first novel, and “What We Leave Behind” was born.
