In his early twenties, he became a reporter on a weekly newspaper in Cheshire, serving an enjoyable apprenticeship covering rural events and riding country lanes on a bicycle. Later, he returned to Manchester, produced some Western novels; worked on the features desk of the Sunday Mirror; and spent thirty-three years with the Bolton Evening News newspaper group as chief reporter, then assistant editor of one of its weekly papers.
Since retiring, he has written a number of new western novels, as well as short science fiction and fantasy stories for Wildside’s Fantasy Adventures series, collected in book form in Mystery in Moon Lane (Borgo Press). Currently he is working on a series of historical detective novels, the first of which, Case of the Dixie Ghosts, was published by Borgo Press in 2012.
