I grew up in England, but now live on the edge of a small village in rural Spain, and love the sun and life-style over here. 

We have a reasonable size garden, with a swimming pool, three gazebos, and two terraces, so summers are good. 

The valley is smothered with almonds, olive groves, vineyards, and surrounded by mountains. We see them from every window in the house. There are a couple of local bodegas where they make wine from the vineyards, so wine is plentiful and cheap - given away with most restaurant meals.

Since 1994, I have been published in magazines, summer specials, had stories published in international competitions, recorded for 'Talking Newspapers' and broadcast on radio. My first novel was accepted and published in 2007, and became a best seller in Canada - which seemed strange for a Brit living in Spain.  

My books are now almost exclusively published as eBooks, and most are available on Kindle, a couple of them being consistently in their category best seller list.
