I'm a published author of three novels and have written plays, musicals and screenplays.

I’m an actor and musician (drummer - 60s thro' to the 00s) and my chequered career has included working as a herdsman, a forester (Lord Brooke, Warwick Castle) a zookeeper (primates—Birmingham Zoo) a wildfowl research warden (The Game Conservancy) and a gamekeeper (Lord Hesketh and the Marquis of Northampton respectively).

I have also trained gundogs and managed a game farm.

I designed, set up and ran a conservation/computer programme teaching in inner-city schools and have lectured on production management at the University of Falmouth.

I was a touring theatre production manager, mainly in eastern Europe and the UK, and a venue technician at The Hall for Cornwall.
