Q29: Type your answer
Who am I?
I died 15 years ago today having had a very successful life.
Born in Wales, the son of a jockey and stable manager, I grew up in Maidenhead and left school at 15 with no qualifications intending to become a jockey.
By the time I was 18 I was also training horses.
During the 2nd world war I volunteered, hoping to join the cavalry but instead served as ground crew in the RAF.
At the end of the war I returned to national hunt horse racing and became extremely successful, riding over 350 winners and becoming Champion Jockey in the 1953-4 season.
I became Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother's jockey and famously rode her horse Devon Lock to the brink ogf victory in the 1956 Grand National before the horse fell inexplicably.
Post-racing I went on to a second, and even more illustrious career as a writer, producing over 40 international best-sellers.
My first was in 1962, and from there I released another each year for the next 38.
My writing genre was crime thrillers, and I often set these against the backdrop of my former sporting career.
My first novel was entitled "Dead Cert" and my last "Refusal", but in between were such as "Blood Sport", "Whip Hand", "Long Shot" and "Twice Shy".
In 1983 I and Lord Derby fronted a campaign by the Jockey club to raise the funds to buy the land at Aintree racecoure and save the Grand National from the threat of extinction.
I moved to Florida in the 80's and then to the Cayman Islands in the 90's where I saw out my days.
