Autorenporträt

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.
