About

Layer 8I live on the Wirral Peninsula with my wife, four children, two dogs & several evil chickens. My house overlooks the forbidding marshes of the Dee Estuary which is great for wildlife, spooky mists & wet feet.

I love reading and writing (obviously) and I also enjoy running. Running is great. It gives me time to think and keeps me fit too. I grew up playing in the ruins of a Victorian zoo, which was great fun and a bit scary as my big brother told me that the bears from the zoo still lived in the woods that had grown up around it!

My favourite food, apart from chips, is probably chicken korma, or maybe mussels or perhaps lasagne or maybe roast lamb…

I’m the same age as the Daleks. C.S. Lewis died in the year I was born and so did John F. Kennedy, president of the USA at the time.
