He worked ashore and at sea before returning to England and, once finally ashore for good, drifted by accident into journalism.<br>Finally the lure of fiction became too strong to resist. Sergeant Gunnhildur and the series of novels she features in have their origins in a deep affection for Iceland and its people, and an intimate knowledge of Icelandic society and its language, customs and quirks.<br>Today he divides his time between the north of Iceland and the south of England, translating books from Icelandic in addition to working on his own fiction.</p>
