As this clergyman’s wife was also too preoccupied for parenting, R.K.M. struggled to find a pathway in life and chose a career in Design instead of Literature as it was feared that this could lead to starvation or worse still, teaching.
Unfortunately the design world had disintegrated while R.K.M was at Hornsey College, so as R.K.M. had worked in a pottery factory, a wholesale food warehouse and a refuse collection centre whilst a student, there was no fear in trying something else. However, jobs with the Inland Revenue, the DHSS centre for vagrants and a few poorly paid design jobs eventually led to the inevitability of teaching.
‘Not to worry’ thought R.K.M.,’ this will give me the opportunity to write, something that I should have done years ago’. However, the mental exhaustion of teaching meant that until now R.K.M. has only just completed this, the first of a dozen novels that are in various stages of completion.
The ‘upside’ of this varied pathway of life has been the wealth of characters that R.K.M has encountered, including two women who were ‘morphed’ into ‘Karen’ of ‘The 7th Magpie’ which is soon to be followed by its sequel ‘Magpie’s Children’.ver menos
