Leading Story

Charlie and the shockalot factory

Story by: Janet Walford OBE, Money Management

When I finally put down my quill pen and retire, my husband has this romantic notion that I will sit down at my shiny new home computer and pen a best selling novel. I sigh and explain that, to be a successful novelist you need a fertile imagination and a believable scenario.
