About Tony

Born in London, one of five children of mixed Scottish, English and Welsh heritage, of people who had hard lives and wanted better for their children. Heritage is important; it should bind us, not divide us.

An avid reader of fiction, I am in awe of those who can draw out emotions, creating worlds with words that we can escape into and learn from.

With degrees in Geology and Business; I worked as a geologist for seventeen years; in underground mines, surface exploration and geophysics. A life of geology and travel informs my writing

I mountain bike: off road on trails over woods, hills and mountains. Walking is an obsession in any terrain, particularly the beaches, mountains and hills of North Wales.

A world traveler for work and pleasure. I lived overseas in a number of countries. I am privileged to have known and worked with people of different cultures, backgrounds and views of the world.
