Miles was born
in the UK. He followed an engineering career into management
within a blue chip company for twenty five years before leaving
to run his own company.
He got into heroic fantasy reading in his late teens, but didn’t
have the call to writing until his forties.
He lives happily with his family in Kent, England running his
company and writing.
A few words from Miles... “Fantasy writing came as a surprise
to me. I’d written plenty of words in my time, mostly technical
manuals and management reports, but nothing so demanding
as a full-blown novel. It all just happened rather than
a planned approach to becoming a writer.
I find writing fascinating. I set the stage in my head,
and have a goal to achieve for a piece. I then let the characters
have a ‘free run’ to a degree, giving them a kind of personal
creativity. It often leads to unexpected results – some
of which rise into the highly dramatic, and even evolve
into unplanned plot lines. I will occasionally surprise
my family with ‘you won’t believe what just happened!’.
I have developed a late love-affair with fantasy
writing and intend to continue for as long as I
am able.”
