about me

************************************
Sad to say, Rod passed away on March 28th, 2013.

RIP, mate... though I'm bound to say the idea of you resting is one I can't envisage.

It's too often said too casually... but the world is truly a lesser place for your passing.

This ID is being hosted by another on behalf of the writer Rod Burnham.

Rod, now in his 90s, is a prolific writer as the host can testify from the amount of new work he receives regularly in his in box.

His employment during the war years having been as a member of staff at an air force base, his civilian work a physics teacher, Rod's written work has mainly been short fiction set around WWII aircraft and science but with plenty of other themes along the way. Painter, musician, inventor and creator of model aircraft, Rod's the kind of bloke who can write about what he knows best and cover a wide range in so doing.

There tends to be a strong touch of romance about Rod's work; even in his 90s he holds fast to the romantic ideal.

The novel Rod is currently writing, 'High School', is now posted along with a further work containing 100+ short stories, the collection still growing.

Rod is the kind of guy who puts 95% of people 25% his age to shame. Not only is he a prolific writer, he also makes and flies model aircraft, writes and plays music, invents things, paints and has such a zest for life and energy for it it's exhausting just watching him at it.

Please note: There's no point asking this ID for either backings or comments. Run as it is by another authonomy member it would be an abuse of the system for that member to back additional books and any comments for people's work he will provide under his own Authonomy ID.
