I published my first articles in magazines and a booklet before leaving school. So, as you can see, I always wanted to write. Writing fiction has been my lifetime ambition, but success was more difficult to achieve, and there were several unsuccessful attempts during my twenties. I did manage to publish five books on technical subjects connected with my work in technology (under a different name), and I have also been in the writing profession for most of my life, but it is only now that I have got back to the joy and challenge of writing fiction.
