Released from paid employment over ten years ago by 'retirement' David got involved with his life time passion for all aspects of the theatre.

Local Book Stores

I've been prospecting local book stores to get them to stock my books recently. It's been hard work but out of it all (and I do hate it when email enquiries are ignored) some success has emerged.

Rossiter Books who are in Monmouth, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye in Herefordahire have agreed to stock my books. Big thrill delivering the package of books.

Folks - support your local bookstore! Read more of this blog post »
