Beta - About the Authors

After graduating from Oxford University, G Burnell held both technical and management posts in the UK Telecommunications industry.

He then ran several businesses. For the last dozen years, he has (mainly) been concentrating on his writing and he is, in particular, a Course writer.

And also a journalist.

For quite a few years G Burnell has written books on wide-ranging subjects, including fiction.

Danielle Fernando

Danielle Fernando (Danielle knows me as ‘Chris’, which is my middle name.)

I have been fortunate to travel some of the world, including my heritage in Holland. And also to visit my late friend in America. I’ve also lived in Turkey for the best part of 3 years (on and off due to visa commitments), for a love that will always stay in my heart.

I met Chris a few years ago at a writing club. He already ran his Publishing firm. We quickly became collaborators in our writing, and wrote a book together (‘Country Park Adventures’) about 3 years ago.

Since then we have collaborated on quite a few other projects too.

I am a barista, by the way. It’s an insight of not being the stereotypical barista: I have brains – An A star in music, I passed my English Literature and Language GCSEs a year early, and I’m very good at being a people person.

And I’ve worked in retail and hospitality, and even taking care of my loved ones. Including my friends.

The books in which I collaborated are based on real life.
