MARK GOLDING was born in the East End of London. You can follow his BLOG on http://marksnaked.blogspot.co.uk His early working life included an engineering apprenticeship in the London Docks, a short spell as a fish salesman in Billingsgate Market (which he later described as "a prep school for the university of life") and some management training with The Rank Organisation. His lucky break came with an opportunity to join the London Headquarters of a large American corporation who were about to introduce their ground breaking VRC (visible record computer) business systems into the UK. It was the beginning of a technological revolution and an outstanding success from the word go and their high earning, hard working and in many cases hard drinking business consultants were the equivalent then of the investment banking whizz kids of the present millennium.Within three years Mark had accumulated a reasonable amount of cash, enough to start in business on his own account, a small but very specialised enterprise supplying antiques, fine art and decorative items to leading department stores, commercial organisations and private clients all over the world.Divorce and a major life change: After 25 years of marriage ended in a rather traumatic divorce, he retired from business, discovered a rather odd niche lifestyle called NATURISM and at the same time took up writing as a kind of therapy. He continued to take an interest in art and antiques, became involved with a couple of small magazine groups operating in the UK and met BELINDA MOSSE, an intelligent and stunningly attractive woman with similar interests and ambitions. Together they created a genre like nothing else in the publishing world, with hundreds of photographically illustrated articles linking the subjects of leisure, health and the arts as seen through the eyes of a naturist lifestyle, appearing in specialised magazines throughout the world. Electronic Publishing. "Nude Rude and in the Mood" is their first venture into e-book publishing and just a taster of what is to follow, as they continue to search their vast archives of words and pictures for suitable new material. Diary of a Nudist (part 1 )- by Belinda - is now available, with part two currently in progress. SEX on the BEACH and other short stories, a small volume of very special EROTICA with photographic illustrations from the authors private collection will hopefully be ready for publication by Xmas 2012. Other Interests. Mark lived in the Languedoc ( S. France ) during the 1990's, where he was able to carry out various research studies and investigations into environmental change and innovative regeneration technology, frequently travelling to other parts of Europe where he was able to monitor the situation at even closer hand.
