Alan Hart
Alan Hart is an author, former Middle East Chief Correspondent for Independent Television News, and former BBC Panorama presenter specialising in the Middle East. I started writing almost accidentally, in order to produce a book that was helpful. Retiring to Thailand is a major step, and the procedures involved are by no means a cakewalk; however it can be done - with help. The book I wrote, to try to supply that help; is unsurprisingly entitled:- "How to retire to Thailand" After the book started to sell I thought I may have a try at writing a few lines for my Grand Children. I wrote a whimsical poetic saga about a mythical beast; the dreaded Sporran. Its favourite food is live Haggis. Then I wrote a poetic fantasy about the world of clocks and the plan of the King of clocks to take over the world. Then I did a short flight of fancy about a Royal Paper tissue. The culmination of all this was that I published all three as: - "Stories aren't always about People" After that the Idea of writing a story about frogs came upon me; my Granddaughter and her Mum love frogs. When the first one was finished it seemed insignificant so I did another and yet another and am now writing a fourth. They are entitled: - "A Frogs Tale", "Frogs at Large" and "Frogs on the Run." If you read them I hope you get as much enjoyment out of them as I did writing them and doing the supporting sketches.
