This book took years to write because I couldn't find the time and various scruffy drafts lay around for various periods in different drawers, neglected but never forgotten.

When I started writing the story it never occurred to me that I would try and market it through my own website. In fact, I barely understood the nature of such a thing. But as time marched on I slowly grasped the idea that websites were not limited to the Easyjets of this world and this is the result.

Anyway, having received some encouraging feedback from a fair number of heterogeneous readers I now feel confident enough to try my luck at selling this story to the world at large. Let me know your reaction (see contact) and thanks for giving it a go.

George Cavendish, son of a British army officer, spend his childhood in the Far East, notably India, Malaya and Hong Kong. Graduating from Oxford with a degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics in 1974 he worked for 30 years in several international banks in Spain, Gibraltar, the City, France and Monaco. He lives on the French Riviera with his wife and children, now dedicating his time to reading, writing and various other fields of enjoyment and edification such as wine, opera and travel.

Cavendish is pondering about writing the sequel to 'Riviera Terminus', but is hesitant before hearing the reaction of the reading public to his first tome.
