Roy is the author of The Race, an acclaimed middle-grade novel published by Cranachan in 2021, Between Darkness and Light, a literary novel about the Chinese Labour Corps in World War I, and four non-fiction books. When he is not writing, Roy is usually found having fun with his children, looking after a menagerie of pets which he seems to have acquired by mistake, or teaching in a secondary school in Surrey.

As a child, Roy enjoyed collecting football stickers. As an adult, he collects university qualifications. So far, he has apparently important pieces of paper from four different universities and is hoping to add a PhD from a fifth in the not too distant future. He enjoys reading and writing, quite likes 'rithmetic, and is only slightly miffed by the fact that one of his daughters is now a much better unicyclist than he is.
