Biography:

I’d worked on the fringes of the property market for several years and this, along with a degree of hi-tech international sales and marketing experience, provided the background on which much of the novels are based.

There’s a second closely interlinked theme running through the trilogy – the creation of a Charitable Foundation to provide long-term funding, training and support to projects involving the 16-24 year olds. This evolved from my wife’s work with the area director of a major UK charity.

Genre-wise the novels are a contemporary romance. I’ve never been particularly happy with that and, for a long time, ‘A Circle Squared’ had the alternate title of ‘Cinderella Revisited’. To me it is a contemporary fairytale set in today’s world of international business with a story line that pushes – but never breaks – the envelope of credibility.

How did it all begin? Several years ago I and some of my colleagues had spent the evening celebrating having secured a large contract with a major multi-national; after a few drinks one of the guys solemnly decided that my contribution, in writing the original contract submission and the final presentation material, had been critically important.

It prompted him to remark that, since I obviously had a knack with words, I ought to try my hand at writing something serious – like a novel.

Several years later, when I had a little more time, I remembered that remark and began to sketch out a few ideas. ‘A Circle Squared’ evolved quite slowly at first but, before I really knew what was happening, it had taken on an existence of its own.Unfortunately (or do I mean fortunately?) I lost track of the guy who made that original remark a long time ago!
