About My Writing
I write novels, and I'm pleased to say that most
readers like them. They are fairly contemporary,
and not particularly romantic.
One of the comments I received recently, from
another author I had not met previously, was that
she "had rarely felt less manipulated by a
novel." She, and others, regard one of the
strong points of INTERNAL MEMORANDUM as its
truthfulness.
This kind of thing encourages you to keep on
writing, doesn't it ? So I am doing.

| About Me
I have spent most of my working life as a management consultant - I still do bits
occasionally to keep my hand in - and therefore I have come to writing fiction by an unusual
route. Not many authors write serious fiction about what goes on in offices, chiefly because
this is outside most authors' comfort zones. So I have used this background for the novel I
published last year - INTERNAL MEMORANDUM - of which you can find details below. The
novel I am working on at the moment makes use of my knowledge of the world of Housing
Associations.
I am also a Director of Brimstone Press Ltd. - a company which provides advice and
opportunities for writers wishing to self-publish. If this is of interest, please visit our
website www.brimstonepress.co.uk - look, in particular, at the section headed Advice.
You can read excerpts from my novel, and from the one on which I am currently working, on my
pages at this website.

From: The Author
This novel is about Martin Brown.
He goes into the world of work in the mid
1960's with high, if rather vague, hopes about
his career. And he has a lovely new girl
friend called Marian.
Martin has good days at the office - and
some less good ones. Similarly, he and Marian
have good times together, and some more
difficult ones. Other people become important
in their lives - children, ailing parents,
colleagues at work....
Novelists don't usually write about what goes
on at work, even though it takes up so much of
our time and energy and impacts on how well we
feel about ourselves. That's what makes this
book different.
