About Me
Old bloke living in the middle of England. Thrown out of English Literature classes as a teenager I didn't discover my love of books and reading until my early twenties. In the early 90's changed jobs and started having to travel a lot, leaving behind my wife and two small sons. Got bored and lonely eating and drinking in hotels on my own, so began to write letters to my family. The messages got longer, and their content more imagined, and now, when in the right frame of mind I write for fun.
