What's this?

Bio: After a teaching career, Ross Richdale now writes full time. He has completed nine contemporary and three science fiction novels, most of which are now on line as ebooks. He lives in the small university city of Palmerston North in the North Island of New Zealand and is married with three children. His wife, Kay, still carries the burden of teaching children at a local primary (elementary) school. After his wife goes off to work every morning, Ross pounds away on iMac to form the characters and plots for his novels accompanied by his two cats. When he is not writing, Ross enjoys drawing, wandering in the countryside and, in the summer, swimming in mountain streams or bounding through the rapids in a tire inner tube. Many of his novels reflect his interest in the rural lifestyle as well as the cross section of personalities encountered during his years as a teacher. Ordinary people rather than the super rich, the super powerful or violent, are the main characters in his novels. He is also interested in current events and uses international incidents as a backdrop for many of his novels.
