hi, my name is john, i'm from south wales. I have an ambition to write a novel. initially I am working on short stories, so as I can build up to the real thing. I really like the style of writing that david peace produces. particularly the way he starts with something that has actually occurred. hans fallada has recently made a big impression ow that his stuff is finally available here. I am a big football fan & play tennis to a decent level. I have been an industrial salesman for most of my career.
