Author of A Heart of StoneNow retired after a long career in the maritime industries. An avid genealogist, I found a rich vein of ancestors going back many generations.A chance meeting with some authors, now increasingly successful in the world of romantic fiction, both historical and contemporary, have led me to turn my efforts to setting down some amazing stories.A keen member of the Romantic Novelists Association and the Historic Novel Association I was brought up on Georgette Heyer from an early age, and, like many of my age devoured R L Stevenson, Jane Austen, R M Ballantyne, and the like.Modern favorite authors include Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow, Jenny Barden, Carol McGrath, Lindsey Davis and Kate Mosse.
