| I'm an English expatriate in his seventies who has lived in Australia since 1965. In 1998, I reinvented myself as a social worker; I only regret that I didn't make the change sooner. I have a wife of 48 years this year (well done, honey), a son, a daughter and three delightful granddaughters. I have always been a voracious reader, now I'm developing a real interest in writing in a number of genres. I was introduced to WdC by one of the authors here, and I am thoroughly enjoying the experience. |
