Roger Williams - Pam Barrett
London-based writer and editor who has busked around newspapers, magazines, books and travel guides. Fiction includes 'Lunch with Elizabeth David', 'Burning Barcelona' and 'High Times at the Hotel Bristol', a book of short stories based on some of the 300 or so hotels called Bristol around the world. 'The Most Amazing Places to Visit in London', which I wrote with Rose Shepherd, was published by Reader's Digest in November 2011. Two novels, Aftermath and A-Train, have been issued as eBooks in 2012 and Father Thames, a new book of short stories is now available on Kindle. For Suite 101, I see myself as a Sunday Writer, spending my free time finding out things that interest me – and, I hope, will interest you.
