Featured Author

Each month I provide a short bio of one of the authors on the site. This month we will look at {joomlacontent:590|type:title|link}

Kenneth Maynard spent five yearswith the Royal Corps of Signals and lived in Egypt, France and New Zealand. He wrote four books about the adventures of Matthew Lamb in the 1980's. The books end with cliff hangers ready for the sequel and unfortunately the author died shortly after writing the fourth book which leaves quite a few loose ends. They are now out of print.
