Author Biography

The 'piggy-in-the-middle' of five brothers, Mike Davies gained a degree in psychology, then worked in retail, media evaluation and recruitment advertising before training to be primary school teacher in 2003. After more than five years of full-time teaching, he left to do some housework and try his hand at becoming an author. As well as writing, he enjoys football, the seaside and playing the guitar for pleasure (his and no one else's). He is married with three sons, a cat and a dog, and lives just inside Suffolk.
