With the outbreak of the Second World War the family moved to Oxford. He grew up in an environment of the countryside reflected in later years in various poems and had no compunction to return to London to live. After leaving school with a basic education he moved from job to job and joined the army at seventeen for three years.
Prior to joining up he met Ann who became his wife at the age of nineteen when he was due to be sent to Cyprus. After a six months stint the regiment came back to England and for him demobilisation. He joined an asphalt roofing company where he worked his way up to supervisory status as a foreman. During this time he also took up judo and then to wrestling, first on a fairground booth and then as a professional where he performed in many towns and cities throughout England.
He finally gave up wrestling when combining working and performing became too much. It was then that his wife had him to start writing. First there were poems and prose, then short stories, and finally a historical novel that she had encouraged and shared with him.
Completed only a few months before her demise from cancer. He would therefore like to dedicate the book to her memory.ver menos
