When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I have been married for over 48 years to the most wonderful woman a man could ever have met. We have one son and one granddaughter. As well as my family life I have an allotment which, where I can, I spend an hour a day tending to it. I have joined Instagram at the insistence of my son and Skype on the demands of my granddaughter. She uses the Skype to ask me to come and collect her nan. I have 2 Facebook accounts and through them I have 'friends' across the world and in the last few years have made contact with many of my army friends.
How do you discover the ebooks you read?
Because my wife was having trouble holding a printed book I gave her a Kindle for Christmas. It was one of the best presents I have brought her (her words not mine). I must admit I'm not a great reader but I use both the Kindle and a Nook reader to preview my own books. Currently I am reading 'A Week Away'. This book is scheduled for publication in 2017.
