As a child, I, like many thousand others, wanted to be an astronaut. I would write to NASA every week to ‘help’ them with ideas and I would be so excited, as they would write back. It was in one of those letters that they suggested I should write science fiction. I took the hint and stopped pestering them! Sadly, I never realised my dream to become an astronaut, but I do enjoy both flying and writing. Not at the same time, of course, for that would be dangerous and I’m sure the Civil Aviation Authority would soon withdraw my licence! Thanks to the help and encouragement of some amazing friends and a loving family, I’ve decided to take NASA’s advice. Now writing a brand new thriller.
