Denise Cory BlakeBriefly I have been writing for 3-4 years now. My first novel Sailor, sailor, set in ww2 and based on my father's ww2 experience and mother's stories told to me over the years. My second The writing on the wall, set in ww1, tells the story of the thre brothers. My third novel, told around the retreat from Moscow, in the French, Russian war of 1812. Poetry plays a large part in my writing, and appears in all my books in one form or another. I came late to writing in my early sixties, but have thoroughly enjoyed my novels, the writing of them, the characterisations, and the written word generally. I live in the south west, to which I owe a lot of my inspiration. Read More Read Less
