From a family background steeped in law enforcement and military history, Barrie Kibble followed the tradition and served as a British soldier and police officer. During the course of his duty, he survived three near death experiences--the last occasion was prior to leaving the Police Force when he walked unscathed from a devastating IRA bomb. Joining the business sector, he became a marketing manager for a well-known computer firm, and then a buyer for American, Swiss and British companies. He now runs his own property maintenance business and lives in East Sussex, England. His ruling passion has always been for the written word and of sharing that zeal with those who love to be gripped by a damn good story. *Click here to visit Barrie's website*
