Well here's my introductory note for the blog. I took early retirement from the Civil Service and now I spend my time going out with my girlfriend, socialising with friends, reading, painting and sketching and writing. I also have my black Labrador Pol (short for Polgara) and she is the light of my life. lol I have a number of projects on the go at the moment and am just waiting for that magical moment when a publisher comes a knocking on my door.
