Clive West

Clive West was born in the West Country of England in 1960. He was educated at a traditional English public school before going on to university to study civil engineering. Over the years, he has worked as a civil engineer, tutor of maths and science, schools quizmaster, employment agency boss, and writer.

His fictional work includes an anthology of short stories with twists (Hobson's Choice), a full-length novel about official corruption wrecking the lives of ordinary people (The Road) and another in the style of a Victorian romance (Blakefields Mansion).

His non-fiction consists of a book about successful interviewing techniques for job hunters and a guide for sufferers of lymphedema - something he has first hand experience of.

Another collection of twist-in-the-tail short stories (A Snake in the Grass) is due to be published very soon as is the prequel/sequel to Blakefields Mansion (Stonecrest).

He is also a busy ghost-writer, covering a wide range of genres from historical romance to crime in cyber-space although his specialism is in matters relating to training, business and employment.

Clive now lives in Scotland along with Damaris, his writer wife of 26 years, and their three rescue dogs. You can see more about their writing on their company (Any Subject Books) website - www.anysubject.com. All communications are welcomed and are answered personally.
