My website has information about myself and my books, Mission
and A Fool's Knot, published by
Libros International. Both books are African novels set in Kenya,
East Africa. They deal
with issues of culture, religion, politics and development and examine how
relationships between individuals and groups are created and recreated in a
society subjected to fast and radical change. Mission takes the larger view,
relating these issues to five main characters. A Fool's Knot deals in more
detail with relationships within a single family, that of a returned lawyer,
an idealist who wants to make changes of his own.
Mission
and
A Fool’s Knot are set in Kitui District, eastern Kenya, in the
1970s. Kitui is a poor part of Kenya, a place where tourists never visit and
where most people are still involved in subsistence agriculture. Because of
the area's perennial problem with drought, however, most peasant farmers
cannot grow enough to avoid hunger.

I now live in La Nucia, near Benidorm, Costa Blanca, Spain, but was born in
Wakefield, United Kingdom, and was brought up in Sharlston and Crofton, when
they were Yorkshire mining villages.
