Stephen was born in 1965 in Plymouth, UK, going to school firstly at Chaucer Way Primary and then Sutton High School for Boys. When he left there, he studied at Plymouth College of Further Education (Now City College).

His career has been varied over the course of his adult life but with a degree in Accounting and Finance gained at Plymouth University, most of his career has been in finance roles including running his own business.

Stephen is also a professional musician (Keyboard, Electric and Acoustic Guitar) and a comedy entertainer who has performed in the UK and Europe.

In 2017 Stephen had an epileptic seizure whilst driving which hospitalised him for a while. He hasn't driven since and wound up his finance and his entertainment businesses.

Stephen has two children (Son/Daughter) and numerous Grandchildren. He dotes on his Staffordshire Bull Terrier, OREO.

His first novel 'A Dish Best Served Cold' was actually written in 1989 in an unpublished manuscript entitled 'Overkill - Diary of a Psychopath'. Most of his novels are based in his hometown of Plymouth. He thoroughly enjoys the writing aspect and bringing his characters to life in his words.

He would like to thank all his supporters who have purchased and read his books, and also those who may do so in the future.
