About the author

I'm English by birth, from the Isle of Wight, living in Newport, spending part of the year in the USA, co-managing The Carter Seagrove Project LLC - an independent publishing house, incorporated in the State of Indiana.

I was 51 years old in 2016. I only started writing in 2009, proving, I suppose, that it is never too late. I didn't think about publishing until late 2012, now, nearly four years later, I'm even more energized by the process than ever before.

I'm a qualified English teacher, specializing in teaching English as a second language (TEFL), though I don't do much of that now. In the distant past, I taught software skills. In the very distant past, I was a project manager on big IT projects and at the very beginning of my career, I was an Internal Auditor. I have degrees in Internal Auditing, Computer Auditing and Project Management. I'm studying for my degree in Sustainable Development at the moment. Renewable energy is what really interests me.

I'm a member of The Society of Authors, The Society for Editors and Proofreaders and The Independent Author Network.

I have no great philosophy except "energy follows intention" and "honour your gifts". These two principles keep me sane, very happy and exceedingly busy!

I am always very happy to receive your feedback. If you wish to contact me directly, please email me at: alpmortal@hotmail.com.

[m · Rating 5 out of 5]

The deep childhood friendship between the two boys of this story has been tenderly crafted and is no less so when an incident causes the two lads to go their separate ways; destined not to speak or meet again for a further twenty years.

Twenty years is a long time to leave the words unsaid and it is a long time to leave the wounds covered with sticking plaster. Is it possible for wounds so old and deep to be healed once the plaster gets ripped off?

'Different Circles' is a truly endearing 'coming out' story, so well written that one can't help wondering if there is a little catharsis somewhere within its pages.

A wonderful story I enjoyed it.
