About the Author

I am a 68-year-old mechanical engineer having had a 50-year career, culminating in the role of Industrial Marketing Director. Following my retirement, I began writing non-fiction biographical works under the banner of ‘Amazing-Life-Stories’. I have been extremely fortunate in family life, with a loving wife, and two remarkable children. Humour has played an important part in my life although there has also been some sadness, which is reflected in my third book about my son Robert. My interest in writing really began as a marketing director, when I was required to produce strategic marketing plans for many countries including India, China, USA & South Africa. My ambition now is to write a novel, but before then, I have one more non-fiction book to complete. My wife and I enjoy global travel, but most of the time, I am available for interviews and promotional work.
