Peter Grose
Started work as a journalist on the Sydney Daily Mirror, then moved to London as correspondent for The Australian. Returned to Sydney to set up the Australian office of Curtis Brown, the literary agency, then moved back to London to work for Curtis Brown there. Switched to publishing, as publishing director for Martin Secker & Warburg in London. Worked briefly and none too successfully as an independent publisher, then joined Australian Consolidated Press (UK), selling the Australian Women's Weekly cookbook series. (Even wrote a book for the series ... hence the rather unlikely appearance of Caribbean Cooking in my list of books published.) After retiring from Australian Consolidated Press, started writing proper books.
