I am a bookshop lover and addicted reader. I have written all my life mainly for the pleasure of myself and a few friends. Most of my work has been kept private especially the HTTK story.      Having spent 30 years working in horticulture, I arrived at a crossroads in my life, and before I moved onwards I decided to write this story which has been a secret work for at 20 years, This is the type of book that I would want to read, there is no doubt that it has been a labour of love and is a work i am very pleased with, although it is published, I have never really seen myself as a professional writer, although it would be nice to see if it gains appreciation. Time will tell, I can only watch and wait and hope that those who read enjoy some of the pleasure I had in the writing
