Author bio

Born in London, I've lived in Seville, Spain for nearly forty years. I've published two novels on amazon, The Morning Sun, a romance set in this city, and Renaissance On The Road, about an Early Music trio on a road trip up north, a hitch-hiker they pick up and their various adventures. The common themes are relationships, romance, refelction, observation, music - a constant soundtrack - and the human psychology we all share. The style is lively, reflective, warm and hopefully readable. Humour is never far away. I also have e blog englishmaninandalucia.com where I publish short stories every week. Feel free to read and comment.
