Born in Perth, Western Australia, during World War 2 to an English-born mother and a fourth-generation Sydney-based Engineer father. Kevin was introduced to flying at an incredibly early age, with his father teaching flying to recruits during the war period. They resided in a close city above average suburb where he was educated and enjoyed a wide range of sporting activities, archery, cricket, and baseball in which he represented the State. His friends introduced him to car racing, horse sports, and surf lifesaving so that by the age he reached eighteen. He had acquired a very wide education. This led him to a real estate occupation where he experienced domestic building, valuation, and a wide field of property sales, development, and consultancy. Kevin became the City Valuer of Perth, then moved on to an agency partnership and remarkably high-value property, industrial, city leasing, and sporting complexes, continuing to mines, towns, and interstate commercial development. He was a court witness on many occasions acting for Local, State, and Federal government agencies, and later towards retirement, concluded with the assessment of major complexes for insurance purposes. Along the way, Kevin was appointed President of the local progress association, Captain initially, then President of a major golf club, President of the Institute of Valuers WA division, the Australian Institute for several years, Captain of a prestigious yacht club. He was appointed to several business boards such as the land valuation tribunal, town planning, and compensation appeal boards. On retirement, the computer talked. He began writing a fantasy trilogy, something that had been buzzing around in his head, gradually expanding and growing with newly discovered events since the time he was an adolescent. That completed, he found it necessary to keep writing, and now on his seventh book (the last three being crime thrillers), agrees he will keep writing till all his days are done. He says the enjoyment he gains from writing is immense and just hopes the readers on turning the final page, smile and say, ah! Yes! That was a worthwhile experience.
