Michael (Southend-on-Sea)
Depends on my mood, I do like older translated literature and the classics. But always down to read a nice fantasy or romance novel and sink into my chair with a nice mug of coffee.

R.J. (Southend-on-Sea)
I am a published author with books published in the usa and although I write almost daily I feel I would not only like to get my publications widely known, I would like to meet locals who are struggling or need help in their pursuit of publication. I mostly write historical fiction and fictional crime. I hasten to add I am hoping to join a bookclub at the Southend Forum Library which meets on the first thursday aft of every month and is run by SWAN Southend Writers and Artists which is on facebook. I am retired so I have plenty of free time to write, a passion I enjoy very much. Thanks R.J.
