About Captured Words Site

Welcome to my website.

I have read quite a lot of books so far, and there's a lot more to get through from what I'm seeing. I'm a would-be author so there has to be a site, everyone has a site, or an app or some sort of web presence (I wrote a post about that).

This site is a handy place to write about the things I find out. The whole author thing has opened up a world of wonderful things and people. I hope to write about them too.

About Me

I come from England at a time when we did O'Levels at school and not GCSEs. I came incredibly close to failing my English language course, but life conspired to make me learn more about writing in general.

Sadly I wasn't good enough to play snooker or pool for a living, so I became an office boy and other random jobs. I never attained hero status, only a legend in my own lunchtime.

I never imagined being a sixty-something. When the time came, I  became that man who goes for walks, reads, and mutters a lot. But it could be worse, apparently. It reminded me of Terry Pratchett's witches who started to cackle as they grew older. 

In a moment of madness I decided to write a novel based on an idea that made me smile. That keeps me busy, and learning new things every day. I fit it in along with keeping the hot tub controller working, hanging out at the climbing wall and rebuilding my knees. And going for walks, of course.

It's a life. 😁
