Interview with Author – Michael Bolan
About Michael Bolan: It took Michael Bolan over two decades of running in the corporate ratrace to realise that all he actually did was tell stories.

Living and working in many countries left him with smatterings of a dozen … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Michael Bolan

I … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Hamish Adourian
The Blunt End of the Service by L.J. Simpson
With a little more drive and ambition, Chuck Poulson might well have found himself serving as first officer aboard a hyper liner.
