Harry Navinski‘s first home was in Colchester (Britain’s oldest recorded town). At the tender age of 15, straight from school, he left home to join the Royal Air Force. Harry spent the first half of his RAF career as an aircraft technician and the latter half as an engineering officer. Based in numerous locations in England, Scotland, Germany, and Malta, he also travelled the world with the RAF.
Harry’s first taste of writing came when asked to write short pieces for the RAF Wyton station magazine.
Many years later, he created and edited the RAF’s magazine for sports and adventurous training, ‘RAF Active’. His articles, written from his experience of sports and adventurous activities, included: skiing, sailing, judo, adventure travel, and scuba diving, to name a few. He was also published in the UK Defence Journal.
After his time in the RAF, Harry spent six years on voluntary service in West Bengal on anti-human trafficking work (see Causes page). It was whilst in India that he made his first attempt at writing fiction.
On his return to the UK, Harry attended a creative writing course and was inspired to write his first novel – ‘The Glass’. His travels around the world have provided Harry with a huge source of knowledge and experiences for new books – yet to come – and he looks forward to sharing these.
