But have the dragons all disappeared? What lies in the murky depths of Lake Tuin?
Read The Borsidian Chronicles and become part of the unfolding history.

About the Author
I started writing when I was 10 and at 13 years old, I had my first story published in the school magazine. Since then, I have written many different stories, children’s books, murder mysteries and young adult fantasy fiction, although I never felt any of these books were good enough to be published.
The first draft of what was to become ‘The Borsidian Chronicles’ was written in 1992 after I was made redundant in Germany. It took 3 months in a basement and then was put on a shelf for ten years and forgotten about. I was moving house and found it again and after rereading it, made a vast amounts of edits and rewrites. It was filed away again, only to be found on another house move in 2013. Upon finding the manuscript, and after rereading it again, I completely rewrote it.
In January this year, after reading it through again and with some urging from Julz, my wife, I decided to publish it. I reworked the whole story again and it now stands as a Young Adult fantasy fiction saga, the first book from it being called ‘Born of Ashes’. I am still creating the imaginary world of Borsidia, so this book will be one of many.
It has been a labour of love and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did when I was creating it.
When I’m not writing, I am a Life Coach, Debt and Money Coach, a husband, granddad and puzzler. I returned to faith a few years ago and now at 66, I volunteer as a writer for our Church and for Christians Against Poverty (CAP), where I use my coaching skills to help others.
