Douglas Roberts, born in the chilly climes of London in December 1955, discovered his passion for storytelling amidst the rhododendron-covered grounds of his Sussex boarding school. While his early years were marked by a blend of outdoor adventures and academic pursuits, it was during these formative experiences that Douglas honed his observational skills, a trait that would later define his writing style. He balanced his love for rugby and shooting with a keen interest in the arts, joining the school choir primarily to meet girls, a decision that reflected his playful and curious nature.
After opting for the Open University over traditional university, Douglas led a life rich in experiences. He travelled extensively, exploring European capitals and indulging in skiing in the Alps, all while building a diverse network of contacts. His career journey was equally varied, encompassing roles in marine insurance broking and construction. However, around the turn of the century, Douglas turned his focus to writing. Drawing inspiration from the myriad characters he encountered throughout his travels, he began crafting stories imbued with humour and insight. Today, Douglas resides with his wife in the serene countryside, ironically adjacent to the bustling Gatwick airport. He continues to construct, enjoy rallying, and write, sharing his wealth of knowledge and stories with a wider audience.
