I am a
writer without roots. Born and raised in apartheid South Africa,
I've lived in Wales, New Zealand, England, Greece and Scotland. Now
I'm back in Wales, the land of my fathers. My working past is just
as colourful: I've been a journalist, a bureaucrat, a university
tutor, a bookseller, and a proof-reader.
This
unsettled and chaotic life has its drawbacks. The only place I can
honestly call home is the seat in front of my computer. But it also
has its advantages: giving me a rich seam of experiences to mine—an
invaluable resource for any writer.
I've been
described as a 'writerly heptathlete,' and since this is the only
kind of athlete I'll ever be, my aim is to write at least one book
in each of the most common genres. To this end, I've now produced
three crime novels, a self-deprecating travelogue, a trio of
children's books, and a somewhat suspenseful romance.
