Tony Benson was born in the year lasers were invented, the word aerospace was first coined and the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, burned up in the Earth's atmosphere after three months in orbit. It was also the year Michael Jackson, Andrea Bocelli and Madonna were born, Elvis Presley joined the army and the De Havilland Comet was the first airline to fly a jet passenger service across the Atlantic.

After a successful career in engineering, spanning three decades, Tony decided corporate life wasn't for him. He went solo, making stringed instruments, and writing both fiction and non-fiction.

Tony lives in Kent, England with his wife Margo and his cat.
