Began as a bookseller and then worked in book publishing and software publishing. Author of a non-fiction book and also a contributor to another book.  Write fiction in my spare time and have studied it extensively. Decided to start my own fiction ebook publisher and have acquired and published some excellent works to date. Many writing influences but if I could write like anyone else it would be Proust. Also love Fitzgerald, Austen, Baudelaire, Tolstoy, and Sartre. Too many to list of course.
