Alan M KeefAlan M Keef has a business building small railways for the industrial and leisure markets that he describes as a hobby that got out of hand, but for all that, it has taken him to some of the less glamorous countries around the world. He is widowed, rmarried and lives and works in Herefordshire. He lives in the village of Lea in the ecclesiastical parish of Ariconium, on the edge of the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. This book started life as a (long) short story related to the ancient iron mines at Clearwell, with Puzzlewood being almost next door. The lower River Severn and the Bristol Channel are his home waters for sailing - a crazy place for such pursuits with its huge tidal range. This is Alan's second full-length novel. Read More Read Less
