Beschreibung

Hello. My name is Oliver Twist. Let me tell you my own story - of my unhappy times in the workhouse and with Fagin and Bill Sikes, and the happy times with Mr Brownlow and Mrs Maylie. And I've included parts that Mr Dickens forgot to put in. (A retelling of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens.)

Autor

I retired (early) and started a new career as a writer. I wrote short stories and articles. Some were published; some won prizes; some sank without trace.
Having heard my stories, two friends suggested I should write for children. I'd never thought of that, although I'd spent my first career communicating with young people as a Chemistry teacher, and running clubs for badminton, chess, table tennis and hillwalking.
I tried writing for young people and I loved it. It became my main occupation. I sent samples to publishers. One asked to see a complete story. In excitement, I sent it off. Then nothing. After four months, I rang, and was told the manuscript was being considered: I would be notified. Then more nothing. Now, after eight years, I no longer rush to the door when the letter box rattles.
But I kept writing the stories because I enjoyed it so much. Until, in late 2013, I learned I could publish my stories and games as e-books. Since then, I've been polishing and issuing some of them. I hope everyone enjoys reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
Check out the series:
C: Charades party game a new twist to the traditional game.
D: Diagags party game gags written as plays for two people.
M: My Story novels classical stories, told by the heroes.
O: One-Offs party game guess the titles, not quite the classical ones.

S: Inside Story novels a boy's adventures inside classical stories.
T: Troubleshooters novels space adventures for young people.
