I am Bill Stenlake. I live in Shropshire with my wife and our 2 dogs. Sadly we lost our older dog Ellie to cancer in the summer. We have a new addition to the family, Millie a golden retriever to keep Rosie our other golden retriever company.Going back a couple or so generations my family is traced to Cornwall and I have great affection for that County hence it appears often in my writingI worked in the retail trade for 30 years before 'retiring' from that and taking up Alternative Medicine in the form of Health Kinesiology. In my spare time I have always loved writing little bits down and from doing that came the desire to write a full length novel.My very first attempt I still have… somewhere in hard copy, printed out by a dot matrix printer. I started another couple before getting the 'real' ideas in my head that inspire me to write my novels today
