About Me

Hello, I’m Dale, and I was born a long, long time ago in a land of dragons, sheep, and male voice choirs.

I began my working life in retail, co-owning a small chain of video game stores before moving into journalism, and over the years I’ve contributed to a wide range of consumer and trade publications. From 1995 to 2025, I worked as a B2B magazine editor – first in the computer industry and later in a sector where most products were powered by batteries.

Since my magazine editing days, I have written four very different books across fiction and non-fiction.

The Time-Travelling Estate Agent was published in November 2024 and is available worldwide via Amazon in ebook, paperback, and hardback. It can also be ordered through local bookshops and libraries. In June 2025 came the follow up, The Time-Travelling Estate Agent 2, and July 2026 will see the launch of the final volume in the trilogy, called – inevitably – The Time-Travelling Estate Agent 3.

I have also written a non-fiction title, From Sex Shops to Supermarkets: How Adult Toys Became a Multi-Billion-Pound Industry, and a murder mystery called The Honey Peach Affair, which is set in the UK adult entertainment industry of 2003.

I still live in Wales, close to where The Time-Travelling Estate Agent trilogy is set, and I’m currently working on something new, which doesn’t involve estate agents.

All of my books are available to buy in ebook, paperback, and hardback formats on Amazon and they are also free to read on Kindle Unlimited.
