Born in 1951 in the North of England, Tony grew up with an insatiable appetite for trying to learn about the different ways humans have of viewing the world and their place within it. His mental journey led him through a scientific education to Ph.D. level into Eastern Mysticism, through Western Philosophy and Cognitive Therapies into Quantum Physics. His novels are an attempt to bring together these different ways of seeing the modern world through the fictional lives of ordinary people living within it.
