About the Author
I sincerely hope you enjoy this book as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I have heard it said that authors draw inspiration from their own personal life experiences and if this is the case then perhaps you can see the links. I was born in Elgin in Scotland, my father having posted there with the Royal Navy. We emigrated to S. Africa when I was one and spent the next six years of my life there. My mother brought us back to Scotland when I was seven and it was there, in the North East that I fell in love with nature, castles and mountains.
I have always enjoyed writing but never considered it as a career choice when I left school. I chose instead to join the Army in pursuit of action and adventure; you will believe anything at 16. My decision to write this book started whilst serving in Iraq. At first it was a way to pass the time, but quickly became a passion. Not with the view of becoming a published author but because I was saddened and appalled by the reading standards of many of the young infantry soldiers in the Army and hoped in some small way that I might be able to interst them in reading for pleasure.
My decision to publish this book and those to follow came after a conversation with a friend of mine who stated simply that 'if you can be bothered to write it then at least give people the opportunity to read it'. However my aims remain the same. I am determined in whatever way I can to help improve the reading standards for all in this country, and to that end 50% of my profits from the sale of this and any future works will be donated to the 'National Literacy Trust'.
For myself, having left the Army I intend to train as a Primary School Teacher in the hope that I can inspire the children I teach to read.
Warm regards
Sean
