Aktion & Adventure Autor
Ich wurde 1962 in Farnham, Hampshire, England, geboren. Ich lebte an mehreren Orten, bevor ich nach Southampton nahe der Südküste zog, wo ich lebte, bevor ich der britischen Armee beitrat.
Ich verließ die Schule 1979 und schloss mich innerhalb eines Monats den Royal Green Jackets in Winchester an; nach Abschluss der Ausbildung bei 3RGJ in Cambridge. Ich diente weiter bis 1989.
Im Jahr 2017 wurde bei mir PTSD aufgrund von drei lebensbedrohlichen Ereignissen während meines Dienstes diagnostiziert. Als Teil meiner Behandlung bei Combat Stress schlug mir jemand vor, mit dem Schreiben zu beginnen.
Ich habe immer kurze Arbeiten geschrieben, die nie über den Drucker hinausgehen – ich schreibe die ersten beiden Bücher über Kreuzfahrten, weil ich Kreuzfahrten liebe.
Während meines letzten zweiwöchigen Aufenthalts bei Combat Stress im April 2019 schrieb ich mein allererstes Buch über Poesie mit dem Titel „Poetry from the PTSD Mind“, das den Leser auf eine Reise von den schlechten Zeiten zu den guten mitnimmt.
Als die Welt 2020 abgeriegelt wurde, verbrachte ich meine Zeit damit, den ersten Teil der Covert-Ops-Reihe Danger in Paradise zu schreiben, gefolgt von Danger on the Island ein Jahr später. Dann, im Jahr 2022, wurde das dritte Buch der Reihe, The Golden Camel, veröffentlicht.
In "Covert-Ops: The Legacy," join Steve, a battle-hardened veteran of the British Army, as he faces his worst nightmare: the abduction of his daughters by a ruthless drug cartel in the Caribbean. Time is of the essence as Steve rallies his elite team of comrades, each with specialised skills and an unwavering determination for justice.
As they delve into the treacherous world of covert operations, the team confronts deadly challenges and ruthless adversaries. From perilous border crossings to intense confrontations with the cartel's enforcers, danger lurks at every turn.

Prepare to be captivated from start to finish as you uncover shocking truths and witness the ultimate test of bravery and loyalty in "Covert-Ops: The Legacy."
