I live on the Essex Suffolk border. I am a prolific reader. I enjoy printed books. I do not like audio books. I like to handle the book and flick back to check up on a plot twist.

R.J. (Southend-on-Sea)
Seeking a book club
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.
