Although born in Lancashire, I grew up in Derbyshire before graduating in Italian and History of Art at the University of Leeds. Several years in Italy teaching English and writing travel guides were followed by seven years as a Chartered Accountant and then eighteen years teaching English and Media Studies back in England. During those twenty-five years, I spent as much time as possible in Italy, soaking up the culture and getting ideas for stories. In the summer of 2014 I left teaching and my wife agreed to support me while I got my writing career back on track. Since then, I have divided my time between the two countries and never regretted the decision to concentrate on writing.
