I'm thrilled to finally be on Goodreads and I'm really looking forward to sharing books, reviews and ideas with all you Goodreads folks! My first book, When Red Is Blue, came out in March 2012. I call it a "mevel" (memoir/novel) both because I like the word (I think I made it up) and "autobiographical novel" is simply too much of a mouthful. I'm a writer with a day job - in fact, two day jobs - so I have to try to stay focused (very difficult) to keep my books progressing at a reasonable pace. The bread and butter job is currently in finance, and I still do the odd editing job for people, though I expect to put that one to rest soon. I also enjoy metal detecting (don't laugh!) and doing DIY around the house.
