WELCOME
Clive Gifford is a highly experienced journalist and author with over 100 books published and more than 800 features and stories written for adults and children.
Clive is an unusual author who likes to work in both fiction and non-fiction. Perhaps this reflects his unusual life which, so far, has seen him travel to over 70 countries, be held hostage in Colombia, go parachuting, coach several sports and run a computer games company.
"Welcome to the pages dealing with my work as a writer. What drives me more than anything else is the desire to communicate, entertain and inform through the written word. I hope you find these webpages of interest."
Clive Gifford.
