about me

Another year, another book to get out there, looking for a publisher. Hoping to make a new start with something new on Authonomy - The Third Heaven, an historical novel set in the fourteenth century.

Good luck to all Authonomists.

Neville, this is not really my area of expertise, so there is not much I can sensibly comment on.
