His father, an Irishman, was on the run from the "Brits". He took
refuge in Jersey C.I. where Desmond was born. The family left the
island when he was four, but retained strong ties and family to
this very day. After the tragic deaths of his two young brothers at
17 and 27 he was reminded that you only live once, but if you do it
right, once is enough. From humble beginnings as a butcher in
Birmingham, he made himself into a relatively small but successful
businessman, with a chain of shops and houses to rent. He took life
by the scruff of the neck and lived a playboy life of booze, women
and fast cars. He has dived the oceans of the world, travelled to
all the places he ever wanted to see and ticked all his boxes.
Retiring from business at 49, he turned to a new life of
songwriting, TV plays and a successful trilogy of Jack Reec novels.
Once asked, "Is there anything you haven't done?" Thoughtfully he
replied, "Well if there is, it's because I didn't want to do it".
