Well, it was a strange and twisting road that led to the publication of my first books. Born and raised in Bristol, England. I spent my adult life in business, the majority of that time marketing cars. I eventually owned the largest Saab specialist in the world, before a divorce put an end to that part of my life. This led me to leave Bristol to live halfway up a mountain in the Welsh valleys, start a part time six year English Literature course at Bristol University, and attend creative writing classes in Cardiff. My interest in English literature flourished and I have won several prizes for my short stories. My first book, 'Twenty Short Stories – Settling a score,” reached No 6 in the Short Stories Best Sellers and is still available. I now live very happily halfway up that mountain in the Welsh Valleys with my wonderful partner, Mari, and our rescue dog, Wolfie. There are two more anthologies now available; Twenty-One Short Stories (Key Changes) Another Twenty-Two Short Stories Two books now out in the 'Out of Hand series': Book 1 Hand Over Fist Book 2 Hand in Glove Book 3 should be available by Winter 2017 The first book in the 'Second Chances Rom-Com Series' Chasing What's Already Gone came out late in 2016 Book 2 in the series should be out in Summer 2017           Facebook www.facebook.com/michaelross.writer Twitter https://twitter.com/mikerosswriter Website http:// www.michaelrosswriter.com
