I was born in Edmonton London in September 1968. My mother is a British Citizen, who was educated at Edmonton's Latymer Grammar School. My late father was an East Prussian German.
Before I was the age of two my parents decided to move from London to Lippe in North-Rein Westphalia in Germany. I enjoyed the schools I went to and the festive Lippe people. The army depot in the town of Detmold nearby sent its troops into our village every year for NATO exercises.
When I was nine my parents decided to move to a village in Devon in England, where my parents bought a small holding. I was educated at the local village school before going to the secondary school in a neighbouring village.
When I left school I studied science and maths at college and later I studied science and German with the Open University. I have always enjoyed writing and studying and I had two books published.
My academic interests include ciphering, inventions and research into alternative technology and exploring the vast depths of the human mind.

All day it rains,
The wind is howling,
Blowing down the drains,
Blowing through the cowling.
...
The heart feels heavy and full of despair. It needs to be comforted after the pangs of unrequited passion. It needs to be consoled in its broken moment.
Once full of burning fire; full of raging flames, but now all that is left is a smouldering wreck. A heart that is full of sorrow; a heart that is lamenting.
...
Thermometer, Thermometer,
Please let me know,
The temperature of the autumn glow.
When it is dark, It goes down,
...
The first couple Adam and Eve,
God designed and made,
But to eat from the tree of good and evil,
He most certainly for them forbade.

Her eyes laugh and smile,
They twinkle with a glow,
I observe her for a while,
But I think she'll never know.
