C.S. Clifford has always been passionate about stories and storytelling. As a child, he earned pocket money singing at weddings in the church choir; the proceeds of which were spent in the local bookshop. Nowadays, he enjoys reading thrillers, crime and adventure books with some of his favourite authors being Wilbur Smith, Clive Cussler, Michael Connolly, James Patterson and Lee Child.
In his adult life, Steve has worked in agricultural machinery sales, retail management and started his own business. He has taught in primary schools for the past ten years and was inspired to start writing through the constant demands of the children he teaches. Many of his ideas come from simple visual images or places he has visited. He often weaves characteristics of people he has known into the characters in his stories.
He lives in Kent, where, when not writing or teaching, he enjoys carpentry, angling and the simple pleasure of being a grandfather.
