His eventual training was at Art School, which equipped him for the many years he spent working in advertising and design. He lived in London initially, did two years National Services in the RAF, worked in Ireland and Belgium and then set up and successfuly ran a Design Consultancy back in England for twenty years. He married and had two sons whose futures concerned him, as things were grim economically in 1982 England. He jumped at the opportunity to move his family to Australia when he was offered a managerial position in design. During his years in England, his writing developed as he wrote promotional text and an occasional short story. Since coming to Australia he has honed his skills, writing over twenty fictional stories, mainly mysteries. To date six of his books have been published with more to come. The Blue Pen is one such novel and it has woven into its fabric, events of his own life and childhood.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHessing, Michelle K.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Michelle Hessing has had a successful and colourful 25 year career working in graphic design, publishing, printing and marketing.
