Don D. Plinton is a retired civil servant. He always had the desire to write but never got around to doing so. Since retiring, Don has written articles but never tried to publish any. Not so long ago, he decided to do something about it. He published his first novel – one could say it was a trial run. The outcome wasn’t favourable but not because of him – the publishing was done hurriedly. Don got dismayed and gave up on the idea. However, at his family’s urging, he has taken up the baton once more.
