I was in publishing for 25 years, as an editor and writer in illustrated books, including Reader’s Digest in London. Areas of interest are history, mythology, religion. Many titles as author include Voices from the World of Jane Austen. I used to be an English teacher, including a spell in Khartoum during the 1980s famine. Now I enjoy writing historical fiction on the edge of Dartmoor where I live with my family. Two Inches of Ivory is my second novel.
