STEPHEN FORD, retired from a career in Information Technology, is now an author, To Keep Us All Safe being his fifth published novel.

The son of a geologist, he had a varied and nomadic childhood in Africa and the Middle East. From childhood, Stephen has been inspired by wild places, mountains, rivers and forests, places where nature reigns, not people.

Now, inspired to write, Stephen explores these themes: What forces shape human society? What is the future of humanity? Is human development driven by reason and logic, or are reason and logic mere tools used to justify people’s choices?
