Welcome to my website and blog space.

Since February 2012, when I suffered a stroke, I’ve been unable to work as an editor, or even to work on the manuscript of my novel that’s almost completed.

But I’m still able to read good fiction, in short, slow stints, and it remains a profound comfort and delight.

For several decades, my career has revolved around assisting others to bring their books vividly to life; now it’s time for me to focus, for a while at least, on my own health and wellbeing. My occasional blog posts will reflect my journey along the post-stroke pathway: a fascinating study of slowness and mindfulness that has led to deep peace.
