On the 31st August 2023 I received the diagnosis from my neurologist, that I had Parkinson’s Disease.

"I love books that I can’t put down – and aim to satisfy my readers with the same - books that provide the thrill of intrigue, mystery, suspense, drama, humour, danger, laughter and love of life. That resonate deeply with the full gamut of human emotions. That fire the imagination, expand possibilities and just plain entertain." AFN Clarke
