I am a 60 year old teacher, born and living in England. I began writing at about the age of 21. Poems were the first things I wrote. I wrote them rhythmically in reference to pop songs, including Bob Dylan's 'Mr Tambourine Man.' Pretty soon I began my first novel, 'Once upon a Time.' I didn't complete it till a few years ago, 2008. While endlessly rewriting it I undertook other items. Upon completing it I went back and revised some of them in reference to what had been learned from the epic experience and have included links with downloadable access to them in a website, lawrencecassell.com
