I have been a writer since I was very little.  I had no doubt as to this career in my first decade of life.  On entering my teens, I was just as adamant but strangely found little time to actually write fiction, only a few scattered attempts echoing whatever book I happened to be reading at the time. It was as I approached my forties, I suddenly went ‘Whoa! Where are my novels?’ and realised for all my talk I hadn’t actually started let alone finished any novels.  In my final year of my thirties I sat down and wrote my first children’s novel, The Bell Tower.  I had been experimenting earlier with pre school children’s literature but this was my first full scale attempt at writing a novel.  It took two weeks to finish.  It was also an autobiography with no relation to my life, just samplings of my growing up.
I have also written many short stories and towards the end of 2011 began blogging in earnest. 2012 was a good year for my writing. I did it more frequently and with more passion. I am slowing leaning to hone my craft.
