Stephen was born and raised in the home counties of England. After many years in the flavour and fragrance industry, latterly as a buyer for a multinational German company, he emigrated to Austria and pursued a career in teaching. Writing came late in life, inspiration for his stories are drawn from an interest in the supernatural and their settings from a love of the countryside. The landscape of the Austrian ¿wine quarter¿ has found its way into The Last Chapter, Remains of the Past & Helping Hands and its town architecture in The Realm. The setting for An Angel¿s Wish, his first novel and the first of the Three Wishes stories can be found in what he considers to be the most beautiful part of the English countryside, an area of the Chilterns overlooking the river Thames on the Berkshire / Oxfordshire border. These are stand-alone stories and may be enjoyed independently of one another. Should you have any questions or if you would like to contact Stephen please use this email address: loader@aon.at
