Will was born and raised in Norwich. He took a law degree at the University of Southampton, but the lure of horse racing proved stronger than the desire to be a rich lawyer. He has worked at Newmarket since 1985 apart from a year in New Zealand working with horses. He is now stud groom at Deerfield Farm, Dullingham, where he lives with his two children. He has been a member of Cambridge Writers since 1996 and has recently finished revising his first novel, Finding the Plot, a comic literary noir thriller. He also writes short stories and has twice been winner of Cambridge Writers' short story competitions. His other interests include horse racing, cycling, old movies, watching Cambridge United with his son and an appreciation of real ale and real pubs.
