Vendange1 (Short Stories, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Vendange is a collection of short stories about my time in the Haut-Medoc, France making the grape harvest during the years 1979-1986.

It was a time of great change when the great chateaux stopped employing hundreds of itinerant workers to using modern harvesting machines. One chateau moved from employing 350 grape pickers in 1979 to 12 people in 1980. Only the top chateaux still pick by hand to maintain the quality of their wine.

The experiences are moving, informative and funny.

Autorenporträt

There was piece of advice that I had before I started writing and that was 'write what you know about'.

My first Crime Thriller was about a reasonably young man being taken for a very expensive ride by his wife and he uses his skills learned in his former employment to commit fraud and recoup the money that it cost him.

The necessary skills were those of a studio photographer, a printer and the operational side of Travellers Cheques. I had those skills and employed them in the novel. In the reviews of my book, it is the details of these processes that make the story real.
