Richard Tearle

I am a retired Civil servant who came to writing late in life. At present I specialise in short stories but have a number of full length projects on the go. I grew up in north London and lived on the Kent coast for some years before ending up in Lichfield, Staffordshire. My short stories cover a number of subjects and time zones. I am a reviewer for Discovering Diamonds Blog Spot and Historical Fiction is my usual genre for personal reading. I have been a life long Tottenham Hotspur supporter, enjoy watching most sports but especially tennis when everything closes down for Wimbledon fortnight. I have four grown up children and four grandchildren. My second collection of short stories is scheduled for publication in December 2020 and a novella is being readied for release in early 2021 I am a reviewer of Historical Fiction on: https://discoveringdiamonds.blogspot.com/ I feature a brand new and unpublished short story on the first Sunday of every month here: https://scrapsandscribblings.blogspot.com/p/stories.html
