"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
I was a child in Sharlston, then a mining village, and then Crofton, near Wakefield, UK. I went to London University and then did two years as a VSO in Kenya. I then taught in London for 16 years before moving to Brunei technical education. I then worked in Zayed University in the UAE for three years. Since 2003, I have lived in Spain, and have completed a PhD in education’s role in Philippine development and two novels, Mission and A Fool's Knot.
