Bird King Spring

Where the King of the Birds comes from is a mystery-he just turns up out of the blue one day. Some people want to get rid of him, because he is guzzling all the flowers! The children of the village will do anything to keep him. That's when everything starts to get a little crazy... I am a writer without roots. I've lived on three continents and in six countries. And in my working past, I've been a journalist, a bureaucrat, a university tutor, a bookseller, and a proof-reader. This unsettled and chaotic life has its drawbacks. The only place I can honestly call home is the seat in front of my computer. But it also has its advantages: giving me a rich seam of experiences to mine--an invaluable resource for any writer.I''ve been described as a multi-genre 'writerly heptathlete,' which is probably the only kind of athlete I will ever be. I enjoy exploring different genres, and have dabbled in four thus far, producing three crime novels, a self-deprecating travelogue, a trio of children's books, and a somewhat suspenseful romance.
