    Extractions: Chekhov was born on January 17, 1860, in Taganrog, a small seaport in southern Russia. He was the third son in a family of five boys and one girl. His mother was the daughter of a textile merchant; his father owned a general store that stayed open from 5:00 AM to midnight. The Chekhovs' children all worked in the shop from an early age. When Chekhov was 16, his father went bankrupt. The family fled to Moscow, leaving Anton behind to finish school and tutor the son of his father's creditor. He lived on his own for three years, sending money to his mother. In 1879, Chekhov rejoined his family and entered medical school at Moscow University. To support his impoverished family, he began writing short comic sketches and "little stories" for humor magazines, using silly pen names. Chekhov graduated from medical school in 1884 and entered into general practice in Moscow. He continued to write his "frivolous tales." That year he also began experiencing the early symptoms of tuberculosis. In 1885, Chekhov achieved his first serious literary success with his story "The Huntsman." He also met Alexei Suvorin, the rich owner of Russia's leading newspaper, who became Chekhov's patron and close friend. Suvorin encouraged him to write longer, more sophisticated fiction and to publish his work under his own name. By 1888, Chekhov was a literary celebrity. He had published two collections of stories, won the prestigious Pushkin Prize, and had his first play

E-publishers are more amenable to publishing novels that cross genres. "The Scottish Thistle" is historical fiction, but it's also romance. Yet it's not traditional romance because I emphasize history over love. E-publishers prefer to receive queries directly from authors rather than agents. They also accept historical novels. After researching various e-publishers and their products, I submitted to Pulsar Books and was delighted when they offered me a contract.

He is involved in research and development of new products and of new nutritional strategies for both human and animal nutrition. His general research interest is the function of various food components and their impact upon health, growth and environment.

He introduced the concept of bioactive food components or nutricines, important in both health and nutrition, and subsequently developed Total Nutrition as a strategy for the production of food of animal origin where nutrition contributes to health as well as growth and performance of animals. This is of particular importance where a reduction in use of antibiotics in animal production is required.

Since 1996 he has been working freelance. Other posts include Special Lecturer at Nottingham University Sutton Bonington Campus and Chairman of the UK Poultry Research Liaison Group. Other interests include researching the history of food, agriculture and the countryside.
