Notable Quotes

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”

James Baldwin

“Leafy-with-love banks and the green waters of the canal. Pouring redemption for me, that I do. The will of God, wallow in the habitual, the banal, Grow with nature again as before I grew.”

Patrick Kavanagh

“The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.”

The Art of War, Sun Tzu

Welcome to my Website!

I created this site in February 2020 as a showcase for both my novel Listening (see the separate Listening tab), and recent non-fiction writing (Paris, #belikeMilly and connected posts in my Blog Feed).

I’m a writer who is putting my content into the world now, through this site and its social media channels. Lets see where this takes me. In the meantime, I continue to earn my living as a sustainability expert.

While I effectively have two jobs, this matters little. What matters far more is having the space to showcase my work to the world, sharing words and ideas and human experiences which can connect us all. It also allows me to indulge my heart’s desire, namely to write, often.
