I've been a free-lance writer for over forty years but my output to-date hasn't been widely read. It's mainly been user guides and help text for IT software, articles for business-to-business magazines and website content (including blogs). All pretty boring but the magazine articles at least gave me the opportunity to interview some interesting people, including a few celebrity chefs.

They also change the lives of those around us, and of others around them. It's just a ripple effect moving ever outwards.

The first book Alistair MacLean wrote was HMS Ulysses, the tale of an escort vessel with the Russian conveys in World War 2. I think I've read it three times and it's the best war at sea story I've ever read. This book, sadly, is not in the same cate ...more

Not, I think, one of Stephen King's best books and not a horror story that he's best known for. Instead, as the title states, it's a fairy tale and so has horrible villains, a princess and a heroic prince.
