I'm a freelance writer based in Northeast England.

My interests include martial arts, fencing, military history and malt scotch. Oh, and cats.

To date I've written or contributed to about 30-odd books and book-like objects. Most are non-fiction military history but I've also done fiction, defence industry strategic reports and all manner of projects that somebody felt it was worth paying me for.

I 'run' (using the term loosely) Avenger Enterprises as my own teeny little publishing empire.

I'm currently an Advanced Self Defence Instructor with the Self-Defence Federation. I also hold a 1st Dan in Self-Defence and another in Nihon Tai-Jitsu... and I'm a qualified fencing coach.

My classes run at the University of Sunderland and sometimes in the community at large.

 

 

 

I daresay I'll add something more to this eventually.
