<p>I have wanted to be a writer since I learned to read. My reading ability was always at the top of the class and this developed into the talent for storytelling. </p>
<p>In 2011 an injury to my left leg left me disabled and I finally got the opportunity to try to write. The first stories I had published were in a US available only anthology. </p>
<p><em>The Ghost of St. Mary's </em>and <em>The Rocking Lantern</em> were not only the first published, but the first I wrote. Later that year, I had <em>Old Church Ghosts </em>published on line in the UK. The original version is only availlable in the <em>Special Edition </em>version. </p>
<p>I made my on line reputation for ghost stories, but I also write for the children's charity books by <strong>The Peacock Writers.</strong></p>
<p>In 2012, my book <em>Chronicles of Mark Johnson </em>won an award for excellence from the US on line magazine <strong>indiePENdents.org</strong>. Both this book, and its sequel <em>Wharfemere Finale </em>had rave reviews from New York reviewer, Fran Lewis.</p>
<p>In recent times, my US hit series <em>Forgestriker </em>has sold over 350 e-books in the seven books series, and earned me a reputation for writing sci-fi in the USA.</p>
