I'm a retired professional matchmaker who has morphed into an author. My second novel, but third book, is about to be published. I reside on the coast of Suffolk, England, with my wife, Deirdre. A father and grandfather, I enjoy music, cooking & walking.

Set in the storm of the 1960s and 70s... where lust and art collided with consequence...
How far will a creator go... when the story refuses to stay silent?
โ€œThe Little Red Book... is just the beginning.

Alex Sutton sought solace in the genius of Mozart... and the libertine world of Lorenzo Da Ponte,
But the novel he began writing... did not stay on the page.
Desire awakened โ€’ boundaries blurred and fiction... became a dangerous mirror

BOOK TRAILER for THE LITTLE RED BOOK by D. B. Minter
Art begins as a whisper... and ends as an obsession.
For the Gramophone Club, music was an escape... until escape became temptation.

Well, I wrote my memoir a few years before I started as a novelist, unfortunately, currently unavailable. But in my latest novel, The Little Red Book, one of the characters is in the matchmaking business.

Hi Tony, Apologies for the late response, but I was amused by your reference to 'Hello Dolly'

Although I'm now retired from business, and spend my time writing books, I ran a very respectable organisation for 25 years, catering for the over fifties, who preferred traditional consultation dating.
