I am here for Friends

About Me

In 2007, at the grand old age of 44, I was forced kicking and screaming into early retirement on health grounds. Eventually I decided that this was the time for me to start a new career. A sometime writer over several years, now I am deadly serious about it. One of the advantages of being superannuated off work is that I was able to return full-time to university doing post-graduate writing studies. Uni is a ball (apart from being the nominal old fart at times). I am busy writing, writing, writing.Fiction and non-fiction, I love it all.A bit more info at www.rosshamilton.net
