Hi there, I'm glad you stopped by.
I work at Swansea University Research Department, where I am lucky enough to be part of so many exciting projects. Seeing all the good work in fields such as medicine is very inspiring, and motivates me every day. I live in Swansea with my beautiful wife Helen; we got married September 2014. We both enjoy exercising, and walks along the coast.
Creativity is very important and I try to surround myself with as much as possible. I am fortunate to be part of a very creative family, My father Leslie Beer is a published author of his 2 novels in the Lifelight saga...very proud. My brother Mark, whose artwork you will find on this site, is incredibly talented, working on films, albums and comics. My sister Julie makes the most amazing cakes. My brother John, sister Catherine, and of course my lovely mother Irene round off my family.
I love a good read, and have spent countless, hours, days, weeks...ok probably years of my life absorbing as much as possible. By taking everything I love from cherished authors such as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Tad Williams, George RR Martin, Piers Anthony, amongst a multitude of others, my writing tastes of all. Fantasy is my greatest love, and the genre I enjoy most to write. With all great books, characters come first; I enjoy putting mine through hell, thinking of ways to make them grow, and for the reader to relate to them. I have recently published Crik, and I hope if you enjoyed reading Chapter 1 that you would like to find out what happens. Crik is now available on Kindle, and Paperback Here.
I love to hear from new people, and to share ideas. You can find me on Twitter/Facebook or contact me through this website.
You can also learn more about Crik, and my inspiration for writing in my interview with Examiner.com.
