    Author

    Rene Walmsley

    Rene Walmsley was born in Leyland, Lancashire, and he now lives in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. He loves drinking cask ales and socializing with his friends and family. He would love to be a full time writer, but this is not possible at the moment so he writes when he can or when the inspiration takes over him. By the time this book is published, the author will be fifty-eight years old. After the success of his first book “Indiaana Rhodes . . . My Journey So Far,” he doesn’t seem to be able to stop writing! Watch out for more books from this author!
