Who was the actress who died just before Christmas? She was the voice of ........ in ......... Did Hitler commit suicide, or was he shot by Russian troops? Do you remember what year Princess Diana died in that car crash in Paris? How many husbands did Elizabeth Taylor divorce in her lifetime? What was that well known British actor who passed away right after David Bowie died? Questions you might hear at the next table of your favourite eatery. Questions you may or may not know the answer to. They Died on My Watch can answer these and many more. It is a comprehensive reference work that should prove itself indispensable to any household. Most certainly a book to sustain interest when cruising at 35,000 feet between London and New York. It might be seen as the ultimate 'umpire' to settle any argument that may arise within a discussion involving a deceased celebrity, recent or not.

Autorenporträt
By his own admission, the British-born author remains an un-fulfilled Jack of all Trades. A product of the post-war baby-boom, he grew up in Welling, Kent, enjoying what he describes as "an idyllic childhood and then some." College life came to an abrupt end upon the early death of his father Colin and with his mother Joyce suffering ill-health, the British climate was assessed by doctors to be anything but practical. An intended re-location to Vancouver, Canada was averted by cosmic intervention and as Noel himself recalls "We ended up in Australia......by accident." An 'accidental' stay that was to last forty-three years, two wives and five children. His bizarre resume reads thus: London store salesman, freight clerk, truck driver, taxi-driver, accountant, teacher, journalist, film critic, volunteer firefighter, actor, credit analyst for Dun and Bradstreet, real estate salesman, Licenced Private Eye, CD-Rom producer, author and marketing consultant. In 2005, he published an autobiography entitled "Cool Among the Flames." His eldest daughter on reading it commented: "That couldn't have happened!" In 2006, he married Katie, a Californian girl and moved to the United States - re-establishing domestic life on a third continent. Following years in small-town Nebraska, they moved to Longmont in Colorado late 2011. They have two young children - Michael, thirteen, Emmalyn, eleven.
