Harlequin1973

With a background in academic study, including the writing and editing of academic text books and online resources, I am also passionate about the outdoors, great products and all things vintage. I am the author of numerous educational texts (e.g. the "Thinking Through history" series published by Oxford University Press), magazine articles and guest blog posts. In addition I am the creator and proprietor of 2 thriving e-commerce stores ([login to view URL]). I try to write succinct yet elegant prose that replaces verbosity with clarity, maintains impact whilst being informative and uses the wonderful English language to inspire and enthuse. What little spare time I have I devote to my own writing - currently I am working on a crime thriller aimed at the mature audience and polishing a children's story book. As you can see: words are my life as well as my joy!
