I am a well-travelled accountant who started writing in the early 1990s. Since then, I have written 14 novels, numerous short stories and some poems. Several short stories have either won, came second or were shortlisted in competitions, and some published in magazines. Family and friends have enjoyed reading my work almost as much as I have writing them. Having these stories gain dust is no fun, and I would like more people to be able to enjoy my stories.
