I am 75 years young and the Chairman of Cleveleys Writers where my main contribution is poetry written under the pseudonym of Majinka. My philosophy to life is that age is no barrier to a working life and so when asked what are my future plans I respond with a blend of humour and say, “Primarily to wake up tomorrow morning, and then continue writing.”
 
Before entering the University of Life, I attended Blackpool Palatine Secondary Technical College, where I excelled in English and the arts. On graduation I served two years National Service in the REME and on discharge entered the aerospace industry. By 1964 I was married and Mary and I moved to Bristol were we both worked on the development of Concord, then in 1970 I made a career change and moved from development engineering into the world of Technical Publications and for the next thirty years accompanied by Mary I toured Europe as a consultant to the Aerospace Industry with commissions in Bremen, Hamburg, Munich, Madrid and Toulouse. It was whilst on a consultancy project at Toulouse in France that I read the best seller ‘The Holy Blood , Holy Grail’ and became interested in the local historical site of Rennes-le-Chateau, a site that inspired me to write my first book, ‘The Secret History of Christianity’ which was published in 2008.
