I am an accountant with a sense of humour, which most people consider a contradiction. I live in the UK on the Wirral with my wife and two bitches. That's a Border Terrier and a Cockapoo, in case you're thinking I'm living the life of an African tribe leader who believes he's a gangsta rapper. I have three grown up children but have never quite managed to grow up myself. At the age of eighteen, I was often mistaken for pop idol, Donny Osmond. Nearly four decades on and ravaged by time, the best I can now do in the look-a-like stakes is Richard Osman from BBC TV's Pointless. Osmond to Osman, how the mighty fall. Chimpanzees in Dungarees is my first published book. I can imagine there's already more than a few, hoping it's the last.

Author bio:
I was slapped into existence in 1952 in a small, rustic town named Longview in the state of Texas. Graduated Pine Tree High School in 1971 and North Texas State University in 1978. It took longer than normal, but I paid for it all myself. Enjoyed great success in the corporate business world which led to my moving to California in 1987, married in 1990 and starting my own business in 1993. The business ran well for a number of years, finally ceasing in 2011, thanks to the boys on Wall Street. It was November, 2010 when I was coaxed into writing my memoir, “Of Shadows and Footprints”. It is the story of a man that bestowed unsullied trust upon those deemed worthy, yet they knew not the treasure, and this propelled him into oblivion for decades. Within this nothingness, he discovered the one real thing necessary for surviving this human life. To be published April, 2012.

I am currently attending Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, where my professors encourage me to write seriously about serious and important ideas--also exploding coffins. They call my writing style "lively," which I suspect is another word for daffy.
