Biography
I started writing professionally in 2005. Two years later Joan Wales’ biography, Point me to the skies, was published. Since then I have written a second biography, In Japan the Crickets Cry, and embarked on a third. I wrote my first film script in 1988 for Bedel (Ransom), filmed in Turkey and since dubbed into a dozen or more languages, and more recently I have been commissioned to write a script for another Turkish film, Kedar’s Cross. Among other projects I have also written for TV. The Jesus Accounts DVD was released and broadcast in 2010 and is being dubbed into several languages for countries in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Prior to taking up writing as a career, I lived with my wife and daughters in Fujian Province, China, for ten years, where I lectured in Civil Engineering at a Chinese University.
