I believe a good story should be just that. Easy to follow with characters the reader can feel comfortable with. Even at a very early age I wanted to create, whether it be art, music or story telling. Middle England in the fifties and sixties was a wonderful time to be growing up. Music and art was evolving with England playing a major role. I spent several years as a professional musician and penned my stories in the limited time we had off. It was not until 2007 and after much pushing by my friends, that I actually decided to publish my work. Since then my time has been taken up by writing. I suppose it is like a pro sportsman in that I feel so fortunate in getting paid for what I so enjoy doing. I would like to thank all my readers who have given me the support and encouragement to continue. Kindest regards to you all, Stuart Haywood
