Born in Manchester, Harper Haye spent his working life in education. Having retired, he has now turned his hand to travel writing and regularly sets off with his best friend to explore pastures new. Harper travels with his wife, companion and best friend, to whom he has been married for many a year. He has two grown-up children, two grandchildren and enjoys baking bread, amateur photography, soap operas, old films, cheap wine, thrillers and, of course, travelling.
