À propos de l'auteur

When I first conceived the idea to write Doris, I had already thought of becoming a writer some years previous but could not find a niche in which to express myself. However, the event that determined I should write a book, the details of which I will not begin to disgust you with, happened quite accidentally while out walking one autumn Sunday afternoon. After a long thoughtful period, putting a plot and story line together with my idea I began to write. I quickly realised that I should research some of the places and events that began to unfold within the story; recognising that I was tripping myself up with some of the events I had concocted.
