Produktbeschreibung

The first big picture is of a 1912 garden party, in the prosperous years before the Great War, World War One. Damage to the foto reached the tall beautiful lady in the middle. An enlargement is shown of Laura, my mothers mother. I never met my grand-mothers.
Of two studio fotos of my Grand-parents, the one, he is in uniform, was taken when he was on leave. He was sent three times to France despite being nearly killed in the face by a sniper bullet, a lasting mark, I never knew was unnatural. I came across this note on my mothers remarks, by accident:
Mother (his wife, Laura) would say: Your father is having one of his turns. They came on, if he was upset, so the rule was to keep things away from him, that upset him. They daren't tell him of [Squeers-like school-mistress] Miss Wells cruelty, for instance, for fear of what he might do to her. He was liable to screaming, of which there was much in the trenches during battle.
Grandad never showed such symptoms to myself, so he was different to what I knew of him.

Autorenporträt

My later years acknowledge the decisive benefit of the internet and the web in allowing me the possibility of publication, therefore giving the incentive to learn subjects to write about them.

While, from my youth, I acknowledge the intellectual debt that I owed a social science degree, while coming to radically disagree, even as a student, with its out-look and aims.

Whereas from middle age, I acknowledge how much I owed to the friendship of Dorothy Cowlin, largely the subject of my e-book, Dates and Dorothy. This is the second in a series of five books of my collected verse. Her letters to me, and my comments came out, in: Echoes of a Friend.....

Authors have played a big part in my life.
Years ago, two women independently asked me: Richard, don't you ever read anything but serious books?
But Dorothy was an author who influenced me personally, as well as from the written page. And that makes all the difference.
I was the author of the Democracy Science website since 1999. This combined scientific research with democratic reform. It is now mainly used as an archive. Since 2014, I have written e-books.
I have only become a book author myself, on retiring age, starting at stopping time!
2014, slightly modified 2022.
