Derek Knight grew up in the south of England and had a long career working in the finance industry in the City of London, England and in Edinburgh, Scotland. After taking early retirement from that career, he moved to Norfolk, on the east coast of England. That part of the world inspired him to start writing, a long-held ambition that had been stored away while he was busy making a living. In short order, he produced travel related e-books, two works of daily reflection, and a personal journey memoir. "Being Tony" is his first full-length work of imaginative fiction. Derek is now an American resident, and as well as his own books, is an active blogger, columnist and article writer.
