Over twenty years ago, Geoff wrote an early draft of Paying for the Past. His true-crime drama has been life-changing, taking a decade to go through the courts. A diary he kept at the time, along with continuing media and public interest, inspired him to finish the book.

He left school at fourteen and took a dozen jobs before heading back to education and a first-class honours degree in osteopathic medicine. A course with The London School of Journalism helped brush up his writing skills. Initially, he published academic articles in peer-reviewed journals before completing Paying for the Past,  his first book, in 2014. He has since written four novels. The Sand Hide, Cold Friends, The Prisoner of Brenda Brown and The 22nd Floor.

     Geoff also works as an osteopath and lives in the Sussex village of Steyning with his wife Carol, a sculptor. Together they have walked some of the greatest treks in the world, including The Inca Trail in Peru, jungle hikes in the Amazon basin, The Grand Canyon and the Great Wall of China.

He grew up with folk music, skiffle and rock. The Dices, his first band, formed around 1957, entertained punters in pubs, clubs and dance halls. He sang with other bands at the Shepherd's Bush and Chiswick Empires before joining pop group Peter and the Wolves in 1962.

Between working and writing Geoff loves to catch up with family and friends, paint, walk, read, eat out and watch a good film.
