50 year old window cleaner who has been in the army, a bricklayer and roofer, van driver, IT consultant, thatchers apprentice, travelled extensively, now living in Dorset England. I am interested in Quantum physics theory, cosmology, painting and photography. I thoroughly enjoyed writing my book The Blue Heron.
The population of the central Louisianan swamplands swelter under the oppressive blanket of an unusually hot, humid and steamy summer; the unrelenting heat and humidity increase the pressure cooker atmosphere, its duration and intensity is unheard of.
The Blue Heron contains a balance of plot and emotion with unexpected twists and turns, having an undercurrent of darkness that pulls at the heart-strings while it questions personal morality. It explores the social issues of mental illness, friendship, power and corruption.
This book I suppose wrote itself, that is to say that the interwoven storylines, characters and location all formed within my subconscious, one day I simply sat down in front of my computer and started to type. I didn't need to think; words just poured out onto the page and kept coming. Over the course of the coming few days I continued to write, there was an inner want to get these words out of the darkness of my mind and onto paper and twenty thousand words later I was still writing. The story evolved in pretty much the same way from day one over the course of sixteen months until I wrote the last word.  Nothing was forced or planned, the story just evolved, with characters appearing and defining themselves over the course of time.
From day one this has been a thoroughly enjoyable journey where I have been able to escape within my mind to the landscape depicted in this book and ride along with the characters as the story developed. At times the events, outcomes or twists and turns within the story were as much a surprise to me as they were to the characters themselves and will be to readers.
