I am a first time novelist trying to capture public interest. I was a Durham univ English student years ago in the 80s and have worked since in office placements, temp jobs and for a hospice shop and Cancer research. I have in the last year had stories accepted for iphone app by Ether books London and poems and a story taken by United Press, Forward Poetry also taking a few poems. I hope this novel awakens interest and that it proves a sound start, since I am working on styles and research into writing different types of fiction.
