Graham Shearwood graduated in Mathematics with Honours from the University of Nottingham. More importantly, he met his future wife Wendy there. He was one of the world's first computer programmers in the 1960s and he made a living writing software in England, Sweden, Holland and Australia. But most importantly to him, he helped to raise a family - their daughter Helen and their son Martin. He always had it in mind to write a book. Now he has. With an innate curiosity about what's around the next corner, Graham loves to travel and to read of others' travels. He likes language - in particular English, Swedish and Dutch - and tries hard not to confuse them. He enjoys looking at the stars and wondering. Graham and Wendy are now retired, and live in a blue and white cottage by a river in a remote corner of Western Australia. They have no time to spare.
