I was born in Jersey in the Channel Islands and moved to the UK when I was 16 with my parents. I have always had an interest in the Neolithic and as a child used to 'play' in the passage grave at La Hougue Bie nearby to where I lived. I became fascinated by stone circles and centred on Stonehenge and Avebury until Stonehenge became a 'limited' site due to the restrictions placed on it. Avebury then took centre stage and has remained so to this present day. I devoted much of my spare time to investigating all facets of it until in 2009 I was to write and eventually publish my 9th book, but this time on Avebury itself. Titled 'A Lady In Waiting' it was to be my explanation of the Avebury Complex as I saw it.
I have lived in Cornwall for the past 17 years and now that my Avebury research has in the main been completed as regards the Complex I am now enjoying the treasures that lie awaiting in Cornwall. Avebury still beckons however and always will as I still have so much more to learn as I seek out other things not connected directly with my version of the Complex as I understand it. A Review of 'A Lady In Waiting' can be seen here

My other main interest is the breeding and training of Border Collies for herding and the researching of their bloodlines, the subject of my other books (The Principal Lines) with the exception of the Obedience training one 'Get it Right'. I have just (2010) started training a young collie that I bred to feature in a training video showing the breeding, selection, development and training of a dog up to sheepdog trialling level.
