About the Author

 

“Many people will tell you that when they retire they will write a book.  However, very few people do.  When I retired I had no intention whatsoever of attempting to write.  In fact, I had no experience of writing and my greatest achievement in this area was submitting a thirty page report to my employer.  My adult children presented me with a computer so as to keep me occupied.  Well there I was with this thing before me and I hadn’t a clue what to do with it.  Eventually I mastered it well enough to use the keyboard and I thought “Why not have a go at writing a book”?

 

This is not a literary work of art as will become obvious after reading the first few pages.  I am not a literary writer but more of a storyteller really and that’s exactly what this is ‘A story’ which hopefully you will enjoy.

 

I am not a priest and never have been an ordained minister of the church.  I am however a catholic and as such I have tried to live my life in accordance with the teachings of the church.

 

Where did I get the idea for this story? Well, I have no idea, it just came to me and I hope that you have as much fun reading it as I had writing it.”
