Graham Martin is a retired civil engineer and although this is his first actual book (assuming a bound MSc dissertation doesn't count), the fact that he has produced numerous related reports means that he is very used to writing English, albeit in a somewhat different genre. In addition, Graham worked as an expert witness for various clients, including Railtrack/ Network Rail has honed his research and summarising skills. Finally, this book has enabled him to periodically indulge his penchant for writing humour, which has thus far been limited to speech-making. Graham has been married to the amazing Audrie (Aud), who he met in his home town of Torquay, for 43 years and have two grown-up children, Kevin and Rachel, plus two cats. Kev (Equity name, Kai) is a very successful stunt-man, having doubled for Daniel Craig in the last 5 Bond movies, and Rach and her husband Kam have a brilliant 4-year old son Leon and a gorgeous 21 month old daughter, Jasmine ('Jazy'). Graham became a Christian in 1977, having previously been a strident and mocking atheist. Audrie, who was more of an agnostic than an atheist, converted to Christ in 1980. My hobbies include sport (Aud and Graham both belong to a gym), Theology and Science.
