  4. Occupation - 2012-08-23 15:03:24-04
    I spend the last twenty-five years in road construction. Major back surgery in 2010 but a damper on that career. In 2009 I reunited with my high school sweetheart who tragically passed July of the same year. Her cancer returned with a vengeance. I was thoroughly crushed with her loss. It took a year before I sat down and wrote about our shared love. Since then I have written and self-published six books. Two baseball coaching manuals, two auto-biographies, a short humorous story about being a single parent, an erotic short story collection and the current novel Occupation. I currently have four books in the work. I live in the DFW area and spend my free time with my family and grandchildren.

  12. The Hickory Factor - 2012-08-26 03:41:38-04
    In 2006 my wife and I moved from Birmingham to West Dorset where I rediscovered an old pastime I enjoyed in my youth; writing. A local author, Sallyann Sheridan, soon became a close friend and when she suggested she might like to form a writers' group, we were both enthusiastic and formed the Jurassic Coast Writers' Group; the members meet once a month with short stories, poetry and larger projects. Sallyann enjoyed my style of writing and regularly encouraged me to write a novel. Well, they do say we all have a novel in us somewhere. So last year I began writing using my knowledge of the industry that I have been involved in for more than forty years; kitchen design. Now the novel isn't about kitchens, but the character I created, Dan Hickory, is a kitchen designer and salesman who finds himself and his son in mortal danger - you'll have to read it to find out why. I'm a big fan of Thrillers and Lee Child, Linwood Barclay and Gregg Hurwitz are high on my list along with Michael Connelly, Harlan Coben, John Grisham and Jeffrey Deaver. I also like dark stories and James Herbert is the top of my list together with Dean Koontz and the few, but brilliant Black Magic books from the pen of Dennis Wheatley. So my debut novel, The Hickory Factor, written under my Pen Name; Alan Lee Ford, is a thriller: not in the same league as the previous mentioned authors, but nevertheless, those who have read it have thoroughly enjoyed the story and passed on praise for the tale and my writing 'skills'. Other than writing, and using my real name, Alan Stanford, I carry out consultancy work for the kitchen industry, am an Expert Witness and represent the UK Kitchen, Bathroom and Bedroom Specialist Association, the KBSA, at the Grand Designs Live shows in London and Birmingham each year. You can find me on the Ask an Expert stand in the Grand Build section. If you have read this biography and visit the GDL show, please introduce yourself, whether or not you need expert advice. I will be pleased to hear your comments about The Hickory Factor. I hope you enjoy reading it...
