Racquet sports became an important part of his boyhood activities while attending the only school around with tennis courts. He later studied engineering at Carshalton College and eventually became a member of the institute of quality assurance.
His engineering career took on many roles including technical writer for an artificial limb manufacturer; but he always enjoyed putting pen to paper for creating quality manuals and report writing.
As well as playing tennis, B.P.Smythe writes tennis articles for his local county magazine and relaxes reading crime and horror fiction. This, coupled with his technical writing career partly influenced his transition into creative writing.
Sow And You Shall Reap, is his first novel although he has submitted numerous short stories for internet competitions, including winning a £100 as first prize for his, 'A Rose Without a Thorn', in the www.spinetinglerspublishing competition and winning for his, 'Wanting To Be Loved', first prize in the short story: http://authorsonshow.com/2011/09/18/contest-entries/ - competition.
He also gained second prize last year for his short story entry, 'The Letter', in the London Borough of Sutton Library competition.
Sow and You Shall Reap, together with his work-in-progress, 'On Black Monday', a novel in terrorism, reflect his in-depth research of locations and periods as well as black magic and religious organizations.
