Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Son of Adam is my first book.
My sons dared me to write a book, and so I did. It took all of four years night writing and over weekends as I have a full time career as the Technical manager at a steel and aluminium fenestration company.
The daunting task of completing my book was also satisfying. Some of the darker chapters was difficult to write, but necessary. The pure evil of the antagonists can not be appreciated otherwise.
I also like to DIY whenever possible. It’s a great way of relaxing when you have to solve technical issues for a living.
Much thanks to my wife, Nolene, for her support during the last four years. Just shows you, anyone can do almost anything if they dig in and dig deep.
