Tony's bit
I have spent much of my life writing.
I’m told that I started at about the age of three when I wrote my name on the dining room table, with a fork, while waiting for pudding. I believe I created a deep impression, but did not attract great
critical acclaim.
I have been with the Cotswold Writers Circle for many years and we try to develop in a variety of genres. Some of my poems have been published locally and in various Poetry Competitions, but I decided to write
a serious paperback about education called A Little Learning and then an action thriller – The Woolsack Conspiracy. Both these were published by Authors On Line, the pioneer Print-on-Demand company.
This year my second action thriller – Crackscam
– was accepted for conventional publishing by North Staffordshire Press. Details of all of these are on later pages, and are available from bookshops or Amazon. They are available in digital format.

I like poetry, and its different forms.
In
my Poetry section, I will put up a new original poem every second MONDAY illustrating different
forms of verse.
I strive to make all my writing to be tightly plotted, to have some point, and to make an engaging read. I hope you will agree.
