Well, first of all, I am male, aged 68.

The initial appearance. of myself in this physical form. Was after being born in Worcestershire. It's in the Midlands, England if you aren't sure where that is. My home county has a mixture of the Malvern Hills, eye-popping scenery and urban sprawl.

I spent my first fifty-eight years there before moving home to appreciate the warmth and slower pace of East Sussex. I always confess the truth to anyone showing an interest and tell them my wife and I took advantage of the ageing population in the town I now live in. Think about it. Loads of old people pushing up daisies equate to a surplus of available property. Cheap property! 

Let's face it, everyone wants to retire by the seaside - Don't they?

I Spent my working life in technical roles ranging from Radio, TV & Electrical Engineering to Supporting Engineers across the UK and Europe for an international company specialising in third party maintenance of IBM Midrange computer systems.

I have been self-publishing since I was made redundant from a position with a company providing remote technical support. This was on behalf of the largest label printer company in the world based in the USA. I've since dabbled with self-publishing using Amazon, Kobo, Google and others. I am familiar with the creation and publishing processes, using these major vendors.

Paperback, eBook and Audiobook formats, you name it, I have researched and taught myself to be competent in technicality and application. However, I was continuously stonewalled by a lack of exposure and marketing, which left me feeling fairly despondent.

I spent a little time with an American Publisher before returning to full control of my Books and Audio-Books.
