"I'm a sixty four year old recycled teenager with a passion for writing, a zest for living and the most magnificent set of invisible teeth you have ever seen in your whole life!" "Yes, I'm 84% disabled, and in a wheelchair that I have named: 'El Butelbumtrink�t'. But I don't consider it a drawback to living! It certainly allows me to live my life to the full!" Hobbies include my two cats Mitchkin and Misha, as well as painting, graphic art, illustrating and photography. And, of course, writing science fiction. I was born in 1948 in Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) in the city of Bulawayo. I was raised and educated in Bristol, UK, and moved to the Balearic Islands in 1965 where I started… working as a proof reader and journalist for the Majorca Daily Bulletin. In 1982 I was back in Bristol and working as a journalist and correspondent for the South Bristol Observer. But that came to an 340 end when my family decided we were moving to London. Life has never been the same again. Since then I have freelanced and have had several articles published as well as short stories such as "The Ghostly Goat" written for the African field and aimed at children aged from 12 to 15. It became such a raging success that Otilia, the head librarian at Bulawayo library, told me that children were coming in every day for almost a year afterwards to ask for photocopies of that printed story! It was published in the Bulawayo Sunday News in 1999. "ETERNITY CAN WAIT" is the first novel in a set of eight books that I call "The Chronicles of Thera". The story of John Mason Junior and his fight against the Death Order continues in the sequel "The Death Trains of Thera".
