| Introduction | Born in Stratford, England (London's East End, not the Bard's town) makes me a Cockney. After many years of polishing my accent, eliminating the long a's and Thames Estuary slang, I now have to revert to something similar to make myself understood in Bawst'n, my home since May 2000. Freed from the constraints of a high technology industry, I am exercising my creative self as a freelance writer and novelist. Living in a new world, devoid of PowerPoint charts and long management chains I travel and write, investigating unsolved mysteries and constructing new ones where they don't exist. Independence comes at a price, but one worth paying. |

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?
A pile of compost to commemorate a return to the earth.
