Born and raised in Walsall, England, Wayne spends his days working in the construction industry. 

During his youth, Wayne's fascination with the unknown was sparked when he witnessed a UFO in his hometown, also learning about his father's own UFO experience - barely two streets away. This, coupled with being a science fiction movie nut - growing up in the eighties with the amazing selection of films that we did - provided the inspiration for creating a science fiction work of his own. 

Wayne is an engaging author who loves to interact with interested people on social media. He loves to read about the latest UFO/UAP reports and space in general. 

He is a family, a lover of ale, and of course holidays. 

He particularly enjoys the South west of England, Cornwall and South Devon, and all parts of Wales.

Wayne's main objective is that people simply enjoy the story that he has to tell. 

Three years of work went into writing The Mars Migration. 

Beginning as a simple idea of wishing to see another UFO in his back garden, Wayne dreamed of craft arriving and what effects this could have on his local area. "Once I started to write, the story just came blurting out. Almost as if it was already there!" Wayne recalls. 

The process of writing involved many sleepless nights, research and rewrites, both at home and in local pubs or coffee shops. 

Wayne found himself writing in lunch breaks, or his local Starbucks and Wetherspoons. 

Often waking up in the middle of the night, or pulling over at the side of a road to make a random note on his phone, a simple reminder, or to make changes to a paragraph. 

Writing a book completely takes over ones life for a long period of time. Some writers can spend five, ten, even twenty years working on a single book. 

Even when the book is written, the work has barely begun. Marketing is an art-from in itself which every author needs to learn.  

Thankfully all of the effort has paid off. Wayne now has a novel, sold in countries around the world to his name. Has spoken to BBC WM radio about seeing a UFO and his book, also having an article written in the Express & Star newspaper about it all.

Wayne will now spend his time speaking to bookshops, promoting the novel and thinking about starting a second.
