Having tapped the keyboard for professional writing, my passion emerged to write for a broader audience rather than academic papers and formal textbooks when leaving the world of clinics and health. Like the singer with that special timbre in his or her voice, the writer enjoys creating voices from words. The six-year-old who loved creating short stories at school found writing a new way of life. Check out my new videos at this link.

Although my background was in science and medicine, I help those who don’t have the time to write—as Eugene Ionesco states,

‘For a writer, life consists of either writing or thinking about writing.’

While predominantly a self-published author, I have been published by Elsevier (Churchill-Livingstone) and Austin-Macauley through Busypencilcase Communications since 2014. My site is divided into ‘professional’ and ‘novel’ publications.

My wife and I enjoy walking and exploring our beautiful country and other parts of the world in my spare time. This brings inspiration and colour to stories. We sing acapella, and I tread the boards as an amateur thespian and lapsed poor classic guitar player. After all, we have to have some weaknesses, of which mine is a form of dyslexia – not the best for writing, but good for creating – but then, as E.M. Forster points out,

‘the historian records and the novelist creates’.

I guess I am a bit of both, but then my life was fermented by an academic scientific streak.
