Born in 1943 to a working class family with middle class aspirations, I began writing stories while at school, finally venturing into novels when I retired from teaching in 1997. The result was a series of mystery/thriller novels set in Australia and featuring two unorthodox investigators who work for the fictional Strange & Obscure Cases (SOC) Unit, an autonomous offshoot of ASIO.
When Evolved Publishing, an American company, showed enthusiasm for my stories, I was contracted to produce the first three novels in the series. Negotiations for a further three novels are in the works.
