Author bio

At a young age, I fell in love with space and time when an encyclopaedia told me that the flow of time is personal. I am now Professor in Theoretical Physics at a research-intense University in England. I spend time with Mathematics and large computers to unlock the hidden beauty of nature. My work has let me spend time at many beautiful places around the globe, where I met interesting people. I have fond memories of Korea, the US, France, and England, where I live now with my wife. We have two grown-up children who have started building their own lives.

My second passion has always been creative writing, but it took a pandemic and a lockdown to get me started. Having a fair share of academic publications, mainly in Physics, I always thought my debut project would be Speculative Fiction or Sci-Fi. To the surprise of my friends, it became a short story in Historical Fiction. No regrets.

Who is the tortured man haunting the churchyard in nearby Marske?

The Child of Fire and Earth: Fantasy Adventure for 8-12 years

"I loved this book! A wonderful and engaging page turner aimed at children/young teens that is full of great characters and imagery but also contains lots of important and positive messages!" - Owen Hollifield

Hew had always dreamt of being a knight. Take that, villain! Yes, princess, of course I'll rescue you. Thank you, your Majesty, yes I am great with a sword. Unfortunately, being a farmer's son made that dream impossible. Real life was more about cleaning animal mess and checking for weeds.

Until he met the dragon.

It opened up a hidden world of magic around him. Faeries. Hobgoblins. Monsters, shape changers, brownies; you name them, he met them.

But there was a problem.

A blight to the north was making magic fade from the Earth. If it disappeared completely, then everyone would freeze to death.

Yes, that included Hew's annoying little sister, but even she didn’t deserve to be frozen. He would have to be brave and defeat this blight. The question was…

What could a nearly eleven-year-old do?
