I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

oh let's see. I am a published author with several shorts having been published in the Science fiction / Horror genre, and have just finished writing my first novel with the title of Wilderness of Mirrors. Time will tell. i actually have had one novel self published about my Grandads' years with MI5, ghostwritten under another name because of the content of the book. i have been based in York, Pennsylvania....in the states, for the past several months on an international training programme which did not work out for me. Am just not the stuffy managerial type. So it goes. i lived in the York-Harrisburg area many moons ago. As well as Los Angeles and Naples, Florida for odd periods of time. i have family and friends on both sides of the great pond which gives me the advantage of staying in the states for as long as i like. But my heart belongs to Scotland. I do miss Glasgow and Edinburgh, but find alot of things here that are very appealing and have decided to stay on here indefinitely..but mostly for financial reasons as it will take a wee bit of monies to go back to Glasgow and get settled again. York has alot of European qualities about it and there is great Ghost Hunting in this area, as well. Eastern State Penitentary in Phili, and Gettysburg being two of my favourite haunts. So anyone is the Pennsylvania or Maryland area who would like to get in touch ....feel free. Have started work on a new novel whilst waiting for word on Wilderness of Mirrors. Cheers
