I enjoy white-water rafting, mountaineering, pot-holing, scuba-diving, water-skiing, power boat racing, formula one car racing, buffalo wrestling, crocodile hunting, sky-diving, bungee-jumping, playing Russian roulette, duelling with pistols or swords, Japanese sumo wrestling, tight rope walking, abseiling down the sides of the world's tallest buildings, making love to the world's most beautiful women, debating with the finest brains in all the top universities, disproving the most complicated mathematical formulae and, of course... TELLING STORIES!!! But seriously, I have discovered the joy of writing rather late in life. Membership of tnbw has given me an audience. A small readership that, by excellent reviews, has shown me where to improve, how to write better and allowed me to communicate with some thoroughly nice people across the 'big pond'. Thank you to everyone who has, or will, read my pieces.
