    His own website (here) provides some interesting info in the biographical information here

    "I was twenty-five. Here was where I grew up and found direction. Firstly I began to write more regularly..."

    ...After three years with this company, by which time I was programming computerized machine tools, I left in the pursuit of more money. It was then that I began the Hadrim fantasy trilogy...
