After a frenetic stint in advertising with an American ad.agency, James Wood retired to the quietly frustrating life of a would-be writer just eight years ago. During those eight years over 200 of his stories have been published in magazines throughout the world - from UK to USA, South Africa to Australia.
His 'genre' is anything with a bittersweet twist to it - whether crime, mystery or even romance.
In his collection of stories - ironically titled Tender Loving Care - Tenderness is often destroyed by infidelity; Love is ravaged by indifference; Care is laced with a touch of vengeance.
A resting model finds her privacy invaded by a young man and a very particular piece of poetry.
