4. A Ghost To Watch Over Me
   I’ve always loved writing and produced my first ‘publication’ - with pencil drawn illustrations - aged five, so my parents told me. I vaguely recall what I produced, but not my age at the time. Years afterwards the theme continued when I embarked on a career in journalism, working on local papers around the London area, and then moving on to write and edit publications for a number of large corporates, initially as an employee and later as a freelance. Another strong interest in my life has also been acting. I was torn initially between writing or pursuing acting as a career. The writing won, but interspersed between the years I also became involved in amateur dramatics, and then embarked on becoming an extra in TV and films – one of them Star Wars (The Phantom Menace) – as well as taking supporting roles in some independent films. My other long held ambition in life was to write a novel, and for the last couple of years I have dedicated a lot of time pursuing this goal, having now produced two: Dark Secrets Cottage and A Ghost To Watch Over Me. Also a short story compilation, The Twist of Devils. They are paranormal thriller/suspense stories, the supernatural being a genre I particularly enjoy. You only get one life – so you have to fill it with lots of things to do! I live in Buckinghamshire, UK with my wonderful wife, Jenny.
