A J Vincent is a nom de plume, however, the details that follow are real. He was born in Aston, Birmingham, England - somewhere between Aston Villa's football grounds and the HP sauce factory! He is married with one grown-up son. Originally an economist, his career has spanned industry, research, education and software engineering. He elected to take rather early retirement from his university post as Professorial Fellow and now devotes his time to writing and, in between, repairing a villa. AJV's previous academic career has provided lots of inspiration and source material. Academics are fortunate - they get to see interesting places, learn surprising things and meet fascinating people. He loves cooking, curry is a big favourite, and he has had a lifelong interest in photography. He is not human until the second cup of strong coffee in the morning! He warmly welcomes interaction with readers via email (see 'Contact' details on his web site) and will always do his best to respond. A. J. Vincent's home page: http: //... See less
