I am a retired management consultant and Historian by education. I amuse myself by self publishing Historical adventure novels and because it was almost impossible to get through the publishing industry maze and snails pace. I have self-published 5 novels, a book linking the British Empire's dominant 19th centtury cities Manchester(where I come from) and Melbourne and a magazine edition entitled Shakespeare and Management.

After a long period of word drought and ill health I am firing on all octogenarian cylinders and have 2 novels on the stocks and a unique sort of memoir that focuses on going forward rather than being an epitaph.

I have decided to test the market again and see if I can cover my costs this time.
