The travels of Mary Loosemore

Author: Tim Pears

A Revolution of the Sun – Tim Pears

I started, but couldn’t finish – the first few pages just felt a little bit too much like hard work (OU coursework and looming exams, combined with flat buying, is making September a stressful month)…. so I’ve put this to one side whilst I try out Salley Vickers’ Mr Golightly’s Holiday.

Wake up – Tim Pears

If you think that genetic engineering, potatoes and market gardening had much of a place in 21st century fiction, you should read Tim Pears’ novel! It’s more high tech big business than Ambridge.

About Me

Born and brought up in Solihull, I studied at St Andrews and in Chester before moving to live and work in London. In 2020 I relocated to Herefordshire.

I’ve done a variety of jobs in the legal sector, focusing on the knowledge management and technology side of things since 2000. You’ll find details on LinkedIn.

SparklyTrainers is about my world outside work. As you’ll see, I love to travel, take photos and read.

My email is [my firstname] @ [my surname].com
