As someone who was born and grew up in Wimbledon about a mile from the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, there was an expectation from an early age that I would play tennis. And I did.

This month I shifted my focus from writing novels, to working with designers. We started to mockup some artwork for the cover of Legends of the Tasburai, the final novel in the Tasburai trilogy.
