Books have always been an important part of my life - I'm a compulsive reader. I believe strongly in the magic and power of words. A story that whirls you away into a new and exciting world is an uplifting and unforgettable experience. The thrill of creating my own stories took hold at an early age. I've always loved making things up, creating imaginary worlds, and putting these worlds - and the characters that inhabit them - on paper. A lot of my writing centers on sport and the outdoors. Over the years I've been heavily involved in cycle racing, cycle touring, mountain biking, sea kayaking, and tramping, and I often incorporate my own experiences into my stories and articles. I'd like to think that, my stories will inspire more kids to get out there and involve themselves in all that our amazing natural world offers.
