Autoren-Porträt von Roy E. Stolworthy
Now retired, Roy E Stolworthy lives with his partner, Janice, of 25 years on the outskirts of Northampton. His parents, from the East End of London, were evacuated during the war. With an urge to see the world he signed up for a nine year regular engagement with RAF, quickly discovering a deep aversion to military discipline. An avid reader of anything close at hand, he always knew somewhere down deep inside of him he had a book waiting to be written. 'Coming Home' his first book, was shortlisted to the final 140 from 24,000 entries for the 2010 Brit Awards in London for unpublished fiction. His second book 'All In' a thriller is at the moment available as an e-book.
