Had short stories published several times and have two non-fiction books published during the 1990's as follows: Zen Judo - A way of Life by Blandford Press; and Aikido, Traditional Art and Modern Sport, by the Crowood Press.
Have taught the arts of Judo and Aikido for 25 years and have 11 black belts in these arts.
Fiction Writing has not been so successful but I had one book accepted some years ago for publication (The HANDYMEN) but the Publisher Went out of business Before it came onto the market. Since then the market has been very much more competitive and have been unable to find a Publisher since.
We moved to Sweden about 9 years ago where Marta is teaching languages whilst I have stayed at home and continued Writing, finding that self publishing at least helped a Little bit. Have writtan about seven or eight books to date which have been (not very successfully) published by Lulu Press-
Life in Sweden is relaxing and the clear air and countryside is vast and sparsely habitated, which started me to write again with the help of my wife whose Life experiences have been the spur to plotting the two books we have written since being here. The Uncommon Market was the first, to be followed by a sequel called The Forgotten Army which you will no doubt see in the future.
Having moved (for Marta's work) from North Sweden, through Orebro to Borås we are currently happily staying in the Lovely textile city not far from Gotenberg
Personally I would not use this biography for publication but there re elements of it that may be useful to prospective Publishers.view less
