The author was born in November 1960 and has spent the whole of his life within a twenty mile radius of his birthplace, Exeter. His childhood was spent with his brother on the back beach at Teignmouth amongst the boats and fishermen, tourists, friends and beach huts. On reflection, the time spent at Teignmouth Grammar School really was a wonderful period of his life, especially that glorious summer of 1976. Reaching the age of sixteen, gave him the start of his love of motorcycles and motorcars which ultimately lead him into his business career. He is a keen sportsman having played five a side football with his old school friends for more than twenty-five years; he keeps fit, running ten to fifteen miles a week, enjoys cycling and motorsport. The idea of writing a book started as long ago as 1992 when he wrote 30,000 words entitled ’Through the Hoop’. Due to pressures at work and time restraints, he put the book down one evening with the intention of continuing the story, but it never happened. Over the ensuing years, the thought of writing was always there, but not that seriously until that fateful day of July 14th 2008. What drove him to pick up the pen again was the burning rage and anger within him to tell his story. On the first night in HMP Leyhill, he sat down and started handwriting the manuscript, ‘Another Day in Paradise’. It took eleven weeks to write 250,000 words using the limited free time available within the confines of the prison. There were passages that made him cry and others that made him laugh, but overall the feeling of satisfaction was immense. With so many distractions, once free from incarceration, the last chapters were the most difficult to write, however two weeks prior to Christmas 2008, Raider Publishing offered a contract which was finally agreed on July 4th 2009. He lives with his wife Katie and two daughters, Ellie and Beanie. The title, ‘Another Day in Paradise’, comes from the often used sarcastic greeting used by prisoners.
