Just to say hello
Hello everyone,
It's really nice to be here; like coming home. I'm originally from Scotland, I have lived in Australia for a long time and, just to distinguish the difference (and there is a difference believe me), I now live in Tasmania. I have very eclectic reading preferences but historical fiction is definitely up there and my favourite authors are writers of historical fiction. I enjoy reading about any era but I must admit, being a boy at heart, I like a bit of action in it.
Like many of you I am a writer, and I like to write the kind of material I enjoy reading; which means I can't be pigeonholed. As an author that can sometimes be a problem in regard to a following readership but, what can I say, I like to write what I like to write.
I anticipate a long association here and I very much look forward to getting involved with all your threads and, in time, getting to know you.
I hope it's not inappropriate to mention here that I have some review copies (EPUB format) of an historical fiction I recently completed, 'Terra Nullius' and so anyone who would like to review it should just contact me.

Very cool life's travels
Welcome!!! You've lived in three places that are on my "to visit" list. I'd love to hear any anecdotes you have over in the "travel" section.
