Sometimes the difference between success and failure is measured only by the tiniest amount of additional effort. In this World, some people are self-driven, others need a push. In my case, on this occasion, I needed a push and it came from my wife who, when I complained of having too much to do and having ‘half a book’ in my head, simply said, “So write it”. 

Well, as you can see, I have done just that and I'm so pleased she had faith in me. I'm not sure she knew quite what to expect though as for over five years now she has had to put up with me writing THE GREATEST GIFT, mostly whilst we were on holiday. 

Hopefully the sequel, DRIFTING SANDS, will be the McDonald’s version rather than the Italian wedding dinner that The Greatest Gift has been.
