About the AuTHUR
Patrick Budden
Having retired eary due to ill health, having worked for the same company , as an engineer, since I left school. I find I have too much time on my hands especially as I become more disabled. Spending a lot of time on my laptop I thought I would have a go at writing. For the first attempt , a short story “Murder at the garage “.It didn’t sell very many copies but those that did read it said they enjoyed it. Mostly copies sold by word of mouth as it was not backed by good publicity. It is available on Amazon Prime. This time I have written a full book but used a reputable publishing company.
