I'm not the bloke who wrote The Amber Room
I wonder how many people have ended up here looking for The Amber Room, The Third Secret, The Templar Legacy*, "that bloke off Top Gear" who now does radio (hey, I used to do radio too!), or Peter Gabriel's road manager.
I've been Googling myself again. I'm probably the world's fourth most famous Steve Berry, which is no mean feat considering all the others I could find are older than me.
What prompted this? I found out that I'm not the only alumnus of Hutton Grammar School's VI Form to have had a book published and I did a quick search for "Emma Young" (for 'tis she), and came up with nothing. Well, nothing other than the fact that she now resides in Australia and writes for the New Scientist. But, I reasoned, what if she'd tried looking for me in the past and failed, thanks to the much more popular Dan-Brown-coat-tail-hanging version of me in the US?
Because, yes, my ego is big enough to assume that anyone I went to school with must have searched for me online by now.
In other news, I went for a job interview recently and at least one of the panel had read TV Cream Toys. I wonder if it helps?
* More I bet now that I've added his book names into a post.
