Early rejection letter, Sun Books, 28 August, 1973.
These early rejections made me dream of establishing a publishing company, which I ultimately did in my sixties.

It incorporates photographs, old diary notes, published stories of a more personal nature, unpublished manuscripts and the daily blogs which began in 2004 and have formed the source material for a number of books.
