Who am I? It’s a reasonable question! I am a happily married man, I have three brilliant children and an adopted daughter who is now an adult.
I also have Autism, I wasn’t diagnosed with it until I was in my mid thirties. The Autism has been a little bit of a stumbling block, prior to being diagnosed I was medicated for something else and that made journeying into the world even harder.
I mentioned I was married, I am, to a wonderful women called Emma! Without her I wouldn’t be the man I am today and I certainly would not have my children. Emma has helped me through a great deal of woes, from depression to severe panic attacks that have left me physically unable to move...
What I do? I spend a fair bit of my time doting on my family, I think for all of us, our children are the reason we get up in the morning - the other I do is write.
Expectations, is the first book I have written by myself, the book isn’t a huge book, being around 67k words it’s just smaller than average. The story is set in a medieval world that is quickly becoming an industrial one and as a reader you get to experience that from the protagonists point of view.
Sal is a woodcarver by trade and uses that as a means to finance her travel around her kingdom, for the most part her interactions are civil, but they can turn bad... Explicit sex is in the book and graphic murder, I won’t go into detail because I think it’s better that a reader breaths the world a writer wrote, but I will say it is not for the faint of heart!
If anyone has a question, please do ask; I’ll be more than happy to answer.
