I had a successful career in HR based on London and Surrey. But the visual art and novel writing I always enjoyed were very much hobbies...

My 'whodunnit' murder mystery set in New Orleans, with Wayne and his wife and young son. I had a lot of fun describing what it is like to live in another country. I always knew I would love America and my only regret is that it took me so long to get here. www.amazon.com/Fear-Flying-...

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

My new novel is now available in paperback! www.amazon.co.uk/Fear-Flying-...
