Alex abandoned a career in finance at the age of forty-nine and spent a few years staring at the Mediterranean, contemplating life and loss. Finally, he accepted what his heart had always known. So, he joined a local writing group and he began to write.
He has since completed four novels: The Unforgiving Stone, Beneath the Stone, The Stone Skimmers and Tamarisk Bay. This is a series of intelligent, but very readable crime thrillers set on the island of Crete and featuring British protagonist Nick Fisher.
He has also published a collection of seventeen short stories: The Late Shift Specialist. This is different from his crime writing. The stories are varied, often sad, funny or quirky, and written straight from the heart.
Simultaneously, he has been working on novels in other genres: a black comedy set in the world of 1990s corporate finance and a bitter-sweet, coming-of-age story set in the 1960s.
Born in Derbyshire, England, Alex now lives in The Apokoronas, a fertile region of north-west Crete between the White Mountains and the Cretan Sea.
