Waking up to something better… picking up where I left off
I love when this happens. I woke up this morning with the solution to the sticky problem I’ve been having with a manuscript I’d all but given up on. I started a novel back in 2015. This was for NaNoWriMo … Continue reading

To date, I’ve written and published over 10 books. Poetry, fiction, non-fiction, essays, mythology… you get the idea. Actually, I’ve written more than I’ve published. Some were more important for me to write, than to put them out into the … Continue reading

Of All the Nerve… writing about the “neuro” things we all experience, but few completely understand
Of all the nerve, I — a non-scientist, a non-neurologist, a non-medical person — am writing a book about the nervous system. To make matters worse (in case you’re not sure, I am being facetious), I’m taking the liberty of … Continue reading

Book formatting fun
My brain has been full of neurology and neurobiology and neuropsychology for quite a while, now.

Strange Bedfellows – Foreword to the 2nd Edition
It’s now been over 20 years, since I had this dream in the upstairs loft of a pink house built not so far from my ancestral home. The story at first alarmed me with its scope and detail – who … Continue reading

Last two poetry books updated – now on to Strange Bedfellows.. and beyond
Okay, so that’s done. I just updated the last two poetry books I published. It’s not difficult – just a lot of attention to detail. Changing half of your name, and then updating everything accordingly, can get a bit eye-crossing. … Continue reading
