Putting words together is more complicated than I thought – at least, to a professional standard. Like everyone else, my efforts at the Three R’s (Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic) began at primary school. I didn’t do too badly, and once I’d graduated to adolescent level, I found that, if the words were put together with a little more thought, I could make my classmates laugh. That’s my education, then. Not that it did much good. I left puberty school with O levels in English Language and English Literature (plus a sprinkling of others, including Latin), but it was never going to make me a high earner. Thirty or more years later, during which I became what is known as “a Civil Servant”, I found that an initial side-line with the theatrical community was much more satisfying (if not particularly lucrative). My efforts with words resulted in awards, both as an actor and as a writer. And once I “retired early” (euphemism for redundancy) from my desk job in 2009, I found I could really get going, by writing a novel. The results can be found on my website (alanveale.com). If you’ve read this far, then I applaud you. Perhaps you found this page because you wanted to know more about the man behind the books. I trust you are satisfied? Likewise, if you stumbled on my name through listening to a recording from The JAPE Collective, did this help? (Comments and constructive feedback are always welcome.) If, on the other hand, you are looking for someone to help you with your own words – say, publishing your own material, or writing web content, then bear in mind I come with over 50 years’ experience. I also don’t like milk in my tea or coffee, but if you can run to a slab of fruitcake as well, then maybe we should talk? You know what to do! (Contact me through my website: alanveale.com)
