Mobi

Mobi D'Ark was born in 1946 in Hampshire, England and grew up in post-war, economically depressed East London/Essex. He left school at the age of sixteen to become an accountant and had a 40-year career in the world of global finance.

During this time he lived and worked extensively abroad, primarily in South East Asia, West Africa, The Middle East, and North America. He concluded his career back where he started - in the City of London.

Taking early retirement in 2,000, Mobi turned his hand to his first love, creative writing, and during the past 14 years he has written a collection of six Thai-based novelettes, a children's novel, a crime novelette based in the Middle East and two full-length novels, both of which are largely based in Thailand.

He is presently working on a series of six novels which are collectively entitled: "The Six Wives of Mobi D'Ark". The first novel in the series, "AZZY", was published on November 16th, 2015 as both an eBook and paperback

"AZZY" is a 128K word novel, covering the period 1968-1971 when Mobi was based in Nigeria, during and after the brutal civil war. It is in Nigeria where Mobi met and married the first of his six wives - the sensuous, hot-blooded, highly volatile Azzy, a gorgeous black girl from the Lagos slums.

Mobi is a much-married world traveller and has been caught up in many sensational adventures, including a bloody civil war; a kidnapping; high-level government corruption; a bloody murder or two and other foolhardy escapades which on occasion, have resulted in him spending several brief spells in third-world jails.

Much of his writing is based on these personal experiences.

Mobi relocated back to the UK in May 2017
