I'm a happily married 43 year old father of two boys. I've run my own private medical practice for almost ten years and my wife is a science teacher at a local Grammar School. We live in Cheshire in the UK where we are tolerated by our two cats - Holly and Cleo. I've written several short stories and completed Nanowrimo twice now. I've tried to get one short story published, with no success so far, so I've come to the site with every intention of trying to learn how to become a better writer. To that end, please be honest if you're kind enough to spend the time reviewing anything I publish here: platitudes won't help me improve.
