This is a post in which I try to raise awareness of and get passionate about something that myself, and too few people in the world, don’t know enough about. After recently listening to the Dalai Lama speak in Dharamsala, and spending time with Lobsang, a Tibetan monk,…
Last week Leslie and I took a stroll around the beautiful and haunting Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. It’s the final resting place of many literary and creative luminaries, such as Oscar Wilde, Alexander Dumas et al. But the guy whose tomb I wanted to visit was the Lizard king himself, James Douglas Morrison. A fully paid up…
Wise words indeed, Mr. Twain. Couldn’t have put it better myself!! What are your favorite travel and philosophy quotes?

A month or two back I posted a blog introducing my novel’s main protagonist, Tristan Nancarrow. To follow up that post, here’s a brief introduction to his troubled mother, Kerra. Kerra Nancarrow is trapped, enslaved even, by a brutal husband and her incarcerating island prison. For too long she has suffered terrible abuse, and her…
Life begins at forty! Well that’s what they say, though I’m here to argue this ridiculous myth. By the way, doesn’t anybody know who ‘they‘ are? Seems they have an opinion about everything. Well I have an opinion too, and it’s this; Life DOES NOT begin at forty. If it did, then I’m only 3 days…
Thanks to everyone that entered into my ‘win a postcard’ competition. And the two winners are… 1. Big bad Brien Silver at ‘Sabai Jai Yen.’ and 2. Sally at ‘A Breath of Foreign Air.’ Well done guys, and a lovely postcard from Borobudur is on its way to you tomorrow. I asked you where these…
