thomas-r-roach
I am a writer and editor: three books, thirty academic papers, one short story, many poems entries in encyclopaedia, articles in magazines and in newspapers, and also a novel (unpublishable). / Writing is not how I make my cash! To get the lucre I edit the works of others it pays well and I have the satisfaction of from chaos ---producing order. You will find my name “Tom Roach (Ed.)” in obscure places and on publications gathering dust in the storage areas of archival libraries. It is fun and I have done it wherever I have lived seeing the sights and sounds, and more, of the Middle East, of Africa and of ancient India. / / Not bad for one who started work as a labourer in the desolate forests of far Northern Scotland.
