about me

Heartfelt thanks to everyone in this wonderful community for your valuable feedback and support for my book on its journey to the editor's desk. You are amazing, and actually changed my life.

I haven't written anything recently, not since I returned to full time work as a researcher last autumn. The first six months left little time for anything else but now I know what I'm doing (sort of) it turns out to be a part time job with full time hours. So I've decided to embark on some research of my own: Can I hold down a full time job whiling away afternoons immersed in authonomy's wonderful books? Early indications suggest it can be done. Detailed analysis will follow in due course, probably from my kitchen table.

I back books I like and tend to keep them on my shelf for a long time.
