Having survived the perils of the commercial world for 33 years, Barrie started writing as a cathartic response to being put on the scrap heap by his employer.
Barrie lives in Bedfordshire, England with a scruffy mutt called Kate. His two children have supposedly flown the nest but reappear on a regular basis. Barrie needs to sell a lot of books to keep them all in the manner to which they’d like to become accustomed!
Due to lack of talent Barrie failed as a rock star but for nine years presented ‘The 70s Album Show’ on BBC radio. He now presents 'The Soft Rock Shuffle' on Monday nights 8-10pm on BHR - Bedfordshire Hospital Radio.
His first novel ‘A Higher Authority’ was published in May 2014, the sequel, 'My Enemy's Enemy' was published in December 2015. He is currently working on a book titled ‘Et Tu Brute’. The story of a man who was stabbed in the back by his friends.
