E M Swift-Hook

In the words that Robert Heinlein put so evocatively into the mouth of Lazarus Long: 'Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.' Having tried a number of different careers, before settling in the North-East of England with family, three dogs, cats and a small flock of rescued chickens, I now spend a lot of time in private and have very clean hands. If you enjoy my books, please let me know by leaving a review, it encourages me to keep writing! I hope you will keep in touch to find out more about future titles in both Fortune's Fools and The Dai and Julia Mysteries through Facebook.
