Autobiography for Quais du Polar

‘I worked as a clinical psychologist for 20 years, and only one patient ever bit me. When it comes to writing, it seems to me important to quote Lao-Tzu, ‘A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step’ My next three novels shall explore psychological and supernatural themes.’
