Born in Staffordshire, he attended St Chad's School, Wolverhampton, but left without completing his education in order to marry the first of his four wives. This marriage was annulled at the instigation of his parents on the grounds that he had lied about his age and was still a minor. He was subsequently conscripted for two years National Service in the Royal Air Force, serving as an aircraftman at RAF Cranwell. His interest in fiction, both spoken and in writing, was to remain with him for life, and he began his theatrical career as a stagehand at the Grand Theatre, Wolverhampton. He later joined the British Government's C.S.E. (Combined Services Entertainment), working in Europe, Africa and the Middle East as part of a puppet act.[2]
