His interests include food, art, boxing, Tai Chi, eating out and dogs.
He says of the book :
‘A Taste of Death is not just a story that will hopefully amuse and interest the reader. It is an attempt to give some insight as to what it feels like to work in the high pressure environment of the top end of the catering industry where cooking is not just a way of life but more important sometimes than life itself.’
HVCoombs also writes crime under the name Alex Howard. Click here for a link to his website

In the little public gardens in Old Amersham. It's very Trumpton & none the worse for that. At weekends they often have a brass band playing !
