A Little About You…… I’m a politics, social psychology and European Studies graduate and I worked for the Civil Service, primarily the Home Office for a number of years. I have two small children and a quirky sense of humour. A Little About Your Writing… My debut novel, FRY, will be on Amazon in March. Here’s a brief synopsis: It’s a terrible thing not to be believed… When Isabel Anderson
A Little About You…. I was born in The Bronx, NY in the early days of WWII and attended Catholic schools through college, all boys from the sixth grade. On graduating from Cardinal Hayes High School in 1956, I attended Manhattan College where I earned a BBA in accounting. After a tour of duty with the U.S. Army Artillery, I started my career in 1962, as an accountant with Haskins
I think it was at my second August festival that I became more aware of the umpiring side of our precious game. I was only young…well, young compared with the youngsters umpiring and playing today. I would have been at most 15, but probably 14. I was representing Haunchers for the first time, but as a member of Salisbury hockey club I was also helping out behind the scenes, and acting as a
A Little About You And Your Book? I live in the Midlands with my wife and two young children. I have been involved in the literary world ever since I attained my BA in Prose Fiction Writing and Journalism at the end of 2005. I started by attending Writing Seminars, giving talks to any audience who was willing to listen. In 2011 I decided that it was time I put my
I can’t juggle…..I really can’t. But my kids love it when I try. One ball…..fine. Two balls…..precarious. Three balls……disaster. And that’s the part they like, when all the balls crash down on daddy’s head, all at once. All of this seems like the perfect metaphor for the last few weeks of my life. Replace balls with December commitments, and the whole thing seems to fit seamlessly. Our December (for my
A Little About You And Your Book I’m a writer with no boundaries, who loves everything from paranormal, to romance, to fantasy to mystery to poetry. The books I am pushing to get published are my YA paranormal romance “The Vampire Next Door” and the spiritual romance “Personal Heaven”. Both books are of different genres, but they both have a similar message: love hard and follow your heart. That’s what
I’ve known for some time that today was going to be a struggle. As the day got closer I’ve imagined, and no doubt dreamt about, how it would go. You see just over a month ago I handed in my notice to the school where I’ve worked for nearly two years now. Before I started there, I’d never had a proper job looking after children. Of course I have two
I hate being injured! Not just a little either. And it always happens when I’ve put so much work in. These last few months I’ve worked really hard, and honestly felt it was starting to pay off……..but here I am really struggling with my Achilles injury. A few weeks ago I was chatting to one of my best friends – another hockey player – about it. He told me he’d
17th November 2012 Sorry………..a little late I know. Sooooo busy! Anyhow, the reunion. ‘How was it?’ I hear you ask. There’s only one word I can think of that adequately describes it……FANTASTIC! I’m so grateful for Joey Bonner’s superb efforts in organising the whole event (she keeps on telling everyone I had a lot to do with it, but I’m sure she put a whole lot more work in than
Salisbury 4th XI vs Bournemouth 6th XI It’s been a week in which I just simply shouldn’t have turned up at training….for two reasons. One: I have a damaged Achilles tendon that I’m struggling to manage, and two: once again there was simply too much standing around in the cold. I dislike that full stop, but because of my age, and the fact that if I stand around too long and then start
