| Introduction | Welcome to my blog. Here’s a bit about me. I've been a research psychologist in England, Australia and New York - on the Apollo Space Project (doing unbelievably ghastly things to unsuspecting volunteers!). Later, in England, I taught, ending up as head of languages at a comprehensive school in Surrey (glutton for punishment, me!) In 1999 a spinal injury forced me to retire (oh, what a pity!), giving me back my life and enabling me to concentrate on my writing and on completing an MA in South Indian Temples. I specialise in a group of gorgeous medieval temples in Karnataka, an area I have got to know well over the last 20 years, and which provides the setting for part of both my novels. Other places I love - Oxford, Bonn, New York, Snowdonia, Sri Lanka and Surrey - all feature in one or other of my novels too. My first novel is "The Moon's Complexion" (2005). My novel 'Darshan' was published in 2008, and my fantasy novel 'Noontide Owls' in 2011. Find them all on www.goldenford.co.uk or www.ireneblack.co.uk or www.amazon.co.uk |
