living with Jean Herbert

My name is Roy Hooper. I am writing a book about my life with my wife, who recently died. my children have asked me to tell them about her, before they were born. She was heavily involved in genealogy and i thought this might be a good chance for future generations to have an insight into her life, as I did when I read a novel written by Professor Mary Hooper, my GG aunt 1875, which was a thinly disguised story of the Victorian Hooper family. I am not a writer, i am a carpenter and joiner, so I need help. the book is roughly 37000 words.
many thanks
Roy Hooper
