This book is really gripping. The descriptions of the situations put me right in there with the characters and I just couldn't put it down although it made my hair stand on end. I have ordered a copy for my best friend's birthday.
I spent my teenage years in Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where home was a remote tobacco farm. After qualifying as an electrical engineer, I worked amongst many different cultures in India, Colombia, Egypt and Algeria, besides the North Sea and the UK.
I retired in 1993 to concentrate on the businesses that Margaret and I had set up in beautiful Southern Snowdonia, offering dinner, bed and breakfast; holiday cottages; an organic market garden and eggs from happy free-range hens.
Now we have both retired and I write for a local magazine and have several more novels on the stocks. I also make iron sculptures and table lamps out of scrap metal. I speak French, Spanish and Welsh.
