Bruno Beaches

The author is a mature, retired police officer who has had a lot of life experience. He also has experience in the world of business. He was married to his first wife for thirty years and they raised four beautiful children together. He loved being a family man, and enjoyed the simple things in life, such as family, DIY and gardening. Following his own divorce, he experienced at first hand the ongoing traumas and challenges which divorce visits upon both partners, to some extent, for the rest of their lives. Some years later he married again, and just three years after that, he endured the trauma of a second divorced. He started writing because he wanted to challenge the ease with which people consider and embrace divorce as an early option. He wanted to challenge the flippancy of the general view that you just ‘move on’ and that everything will just ‘be alright’. He wanted to reveal with insight and feeling the emotional roller-coaster that divorce is, the details of which people in general gloss over or deny. What makes it strong and durable? As he writes, he explores the mechanics of a loving relationship. What makes it strong and durable? What makes it weak and vulnerable?

It took him a long time to get into the groove of writing, and his first book took about ten years to complete, but as writing became more of a habit, he found that he was becoming much more engrossed in writing, and without degrading the quality or depth of his work, has more speedily written three more novels.(in the publishing pipeline).

Apart from writing, he plays the piano, still loves gardening, and has carried out a lot of DIY building projects. He is a compassionate ‘people person’, and has always taken a keen interest in behavioural psychology and relationships. He currently works in the care industry.
