She had landed on the square marked 'GO'. The mind game was running smoothly now. Visualization strong. Objective Clear.

About the Author

Born near London, Alison Tumbull initially worked in the exclusive world of Bond Street banking, then the BBC World Service, and a University Publishing House, before entering the nursing profession. Her career took her first into the Merchant Navy, where she travelled widely, prior to undertaking the challenging demands of Intensive Care, where she became a Clinical Teacher and Lecturer. She took her specialised skills to the USA, and latterly to the Middle East, where she dealt with the reality of caring for mass war wounded evacuated from the Yemen Conflict. Published in the past, in both a professional and commercial journal context, she now devotes herself to full-time writing. This is her first novel.
