The Trust (The Downlode Trust, #2) / The Downlode Trust (ePub)

I know it's traditional to write these things in the third person, but tradition can be a crutch, so here I am, writing to you, making it up as I go along, which is not just my job, but also the way I live my life!
I have been a computer programmer, a website builder, a full-time dad, and a primary school teacher. Bringing up our two children was the most wonderful, fulfilling, challenging, and exhausting thing I've ever done.
After parenthood, teaching came a close second in the fulfillment stakes. As a lifelong bibliophile, my particular interest was in encouraging children to love books, especially through reading stories aloud.

I work hard to build characters that readers can believe in, and to craft plots that people can sink their teeth into. My style is vivid but never flowery; every word has to pack a punch or out it goes. My stories tend to be complex and often contain more than one point of view.
