About

P J Riddell

P J Riddell was awarded a master’s degree in irrigation engineering in 1976 and spent much of his early career working as an irrigation specialist in the world’s less-developed regions and emerging markets, but more recently however, as a researcher and adviser on hydro-diplomacy, water resource policy and sector financing. As such, he’s been regularly published, but despite a long-held dream of writing fiction, his output so far has been limited to technical journals and chapters in reference books. This is his first step towards fulfilment of that dream.

P J lives in France with his partner Leigh Ann, their two cats, Aria and Booji and Gustavo, their young Estrela Mountain Dog.
