About Tony
It
was
a
great
day
to
be
sailing,
and
Seagull
made
a
majestic
sight
as
she
headed
out to sea with her broad clean sails stretched out proudly in the wind.
Tony was born in Wibsey on the outskirts of Bradford West Yorkshire. He attended
Belle Vue Grammar Bradford.
I love writing and most days I’m busy either writing fiction or recipes for my hubpages.
I enjoy baking bread, and over the last 12 months I have become a complete bread
basket case. I am the household cook, making Indian, Italian, and traditional English
meals.
I enjoy music, I began playing in folk clubs in 1967 as a solo guitarist, in 1972 I began
playing with a group touring the working men’s clubs of the North of England.
In 1990 I was given the opportunity to play full-time as an organist and keyboard
player at various holiday camp venues along the coast. I began working winter
seasons for a number of holiday companies.
I worked both hotels and cruise ships for these companies which included cruises on
the Rhine and Moselle River in Germany. I then went to work for a Swiss company
International Hotels and Cruising, and went as Chef De Musique in Russia where I was
responsible for the entertainment and musicians for their six ships, cruising the Inland
waterways from Moscow to St Petersburg.
I am interested in travel, and I have visited most European countries, India, Sri Lanka,
and North Africa.
I have been an artist since 1998, working 3D with ceramics glass, 2D with oil,
watercolour and pencil.
I am always interested in a new challenge.
about my writing.
I decided to start writing seriously when I retired mostly due to the
fact that I was cornered in a wheelchair. I’d always wanted to write
but I knew that my spelling and word craft were not up to it. So
when I wrote a novel, and read through it I realised that I needed
help. That was when I coughed up the money for an open
university course about creative writing.
Halfway through the course I binned my work and started again.
It was hard work to begin with, and I found that I needed to be
very disciplined with my time. To practice I began writing for a
internet community of writers called Hubpages, and very soon I
was hooked.
It can be a lonely journey, because you need isolation so that you
can get into your characters and go through conversations with
them.
My first published book Guilty of Honour was inspired by a picnic
place we often visited behind St Anthony’s church on Cartmel Fell.
It had originally been just one book, but when I started writing
using what I’d learnt from my course I realised that there was
probably a trilogy of books. And when I’d finished the trilogy in
2017 I so missed my characters that I’ve started a fourth book
about them.
Strange but when you first write it is very much for yourself, but
then you want others to read it and it's not about how many you
sell, but about sharing your story.
