A lifelong afficionado of Jules Verne, he is closely linked with the sea: his father was a Royal Naval (Fleet Air Arm) officer involved with the development of both radar and the sonobuoy; and the author himself has sailed in Cornish, Breton, Baltic, and Mediterranean waters. Formerly a Royal Air Force cartographer and local authority architect and conservation officer, as well as a respected Cornish historian with several appearances on independent television, he is also a skilled illustrator whose work appears in several of his own publications.
