About the Author
It has been pointed out by several reviewers that, in the same way as Alfred Hitchcock was to be spotted in every film he made, there are very few of Marie Warder’s stories in which her tall, well built and charming husband - and frequently, his brother - are not to be detected somewhere among the leading characters. She played the piano in Tom’s very popular dance band; he was wholeheartedly supportive of her writing. Whenever there was a sword fight to be fought in a novel, or a chess game to be played, it would be her husband who worked out the moves for her. When he suddenly became ill and, as she tells in the book, The Bronze Killer, they had come to the end of the good times. After nearly eight years of deteriorating health he was finally diagnosed with iron overload and since then, except for a series of travel articles for a magazine, she has devoted her literary efforts entirely to the writing of more than 200 articles on the subject of hemochromatosis, and to the production of patient literature for individuals, hospitals and other medical facilities. Her newsletters and brochures have gone out to more than 16 countries. Now, she says, she is ready to move on and do what she likes best - write stories!
