Over the next twenty-eight years he rose from ordinary sailor in bell-bottom trousers to gold-laced senior officer in the rank of Commander. He served in a wide variety of ships, from aircraft carriers, various frigates and destroyers, to mine counter-measures vessels, a tank-landing ship and the navy's ice patrol ship. He visited ports in nearly every country in the world.
Now a full-time writer, he regularly contributes book reviews, theatre reviews and features to magazines, newspapers and journals on subjects ranging from maritime topics to historic village churches and well-known poets. Many of these articles are included in this his third book.
He lives in an eighteenth century cottage, crammed with books, paintings and naval memorabilia, on the edge of a medieval churchyard in rural Sussex.view less
