About the Book

Annabel Fold is a modern, ambitious young woman of twenty-two, about to attend a post-graduate course at Bonn University to further her dreams of becoming an international journalist. Her upbringing in a Catholic family has been sheltered by strict, but loving parents, and attendance at an all-girls school. On the day before her departure to Bonn, Philip Fold, her father, delivers what Annabel regards as his 'pitfalls mantra', an oft-repeated sermon about the dangers of liaising with black and ethnic people. She has heard it all before and ignores his warnings, deciding that she will make up her own mind about her relationships - 'Pitfalls' is a novel about people and problems that can beset a relationship across cultural and religious divides. It is a fictional novel with a contemporary message about social values, race, culture and religion in Britain today.

About the Author :
Born in West Africa in 1943, the second child in a family of seven children. My parents were devout Roman Catholic and as a child I attended Roman Catholic Schools until I was sixteen. After school I worked for a Development Corporation in Cameroon before coming to England in 1968 to study. After studying for a degree in economics and a postgraduate management degree I got a job working for the City of Liverpool Housing Department. In 1978 I was seconded to work for Merseyside Community Relation Council, a voluntary organisation funded by the Council. Merseyside Community Relations Council was set up to work towards racial harmony and equality of opportunity among the different racial and ethnic communities in this great City I worked for a brief period with MCRC, but those years had profound effect on me and my religious belief. I left the City of Liverpool in 1982, and worked for a number of Social Landlords in the North West and London specialising in housing and support for vulnerable young people. In a voluntary capacity I have worked and continue to work for a number of charitable organisations in London. I am married, have four grown up children, retired and live with my wife in High Wycombe Buckinghamshire. I enjoy pleasure walking, African music, reading and cooking.
