I was born in Scotland during 1955 and married in 1975. My parents immigrated to Zimbabwe (Southern Rhodesia as it was then) in 1957 and I have lived here ever since. I have two adult sons, the eldest of whom lives in New Zealand while the youngest, who has provided me with two grandsons, resides in England. I was divorced during 1987, but remarried the same person on the 20th anniversary of our original wedding date and we remain together living happily in Bulawayo with our two rescue dogs. I am an animal lover and have over the years had a variety of pets including horses, dogs and cats, but I have to admit that dogs are definitely my favourites and at one stage had eight different breeds in my household. I worked for a firm of attorneys for thirteen years and during the final three of those I studied law by correspondence, but was forced to give up my lessons after my divorce when I returned to my parents and joined the family business, a gold mining enterprise. Having been brought up in a rural mining environment and having been primarily involved in mining almost my entire adult life I have a sound base for the fictional events I have created in my books. My favourite pastime is writing, but I am also an avid reader. My first attempt at writing a novel was ‘Digby’s Diary’, designed for all ages and inspired by my standard poodle, Digby. Prior to the writing of this adventure story the only opportunity I’d had to write was when taking minutes at Board Meetings. Since that is probably the most uninteresting form of writing with, ‘he said, she said’ etcetera, I made the minutes more attention-grabbing and presented long manuscripts after each meeting; it did not go down very well with my superiors.
