Following an illustrious career, spanning over 40 years, HM joined the RN’s Royal Fleet Auxiliary Service followed by the Merchant Navy. All of which all led him to become General Manager of the World, well that’s actually a ship called ‘The World’.

His travels took him from the frozen arctic to the balmy tropics. During his time, HM has encountered wars ranging from the Congo in the south to the Cod Wars in the north, then Cyprus, and finally the Falklands, as well as humanitarian disaster relief.

Now retired, HM has published his first novel, ‘Murky Waters’, a somewhat saucy, nautical crime mystery saga.

When not writing, HM spends his spare time flying a beautiful Robin Regent airplane and is currently working on his second novel, ‘Hebridean Waters’.
