Edward Steep is a retired residential property Chartered Surveyor/Valuer who lives in the southern County of Hampshire in England, UK. He is married to childhood and school sweetheart who was in the same class as him. They have two grown-ups and have produced their first grandchild. Their daughter has been a casualty of Covid but lives locally with them which is comforting for all concerned. Author's wife has had a cancer scare in modern times whist the author recently took to writing but it seems they have both conquered these challenges and it is hoped with flying colours. They met whilst very young and married early which is a true love story in itself as they continue an obscenely long relationship.
