Originally qualified in Physics, John spent the last twenty-five years lecturing in electronics. While he has published several technical articles, he also has an artistic side and prefers to apply the right-hand side of his brain to his creative writing.

A keen astrophotographer, he enjoys the dark skies of Pembrokeshire where he lives with his wife and Montague (yes, they have a cat), a half Persian, half Ragdoll Russian Blue.
