Author bio

I am 59 years old and have always been an avid reader, one of my favourite authors is Ernest Hemingway. I have only just started writing and this is the second story I have written.

My son is a graphic artist and I usually go to him for advice as he has written many story lines. Most importantly I am enjoying it.
