  • Addiction issues

    Tweet I have taken on some work with drug addicts and alcoholics in recovery.

  • The BOOK a celebration

    Tweet We never know the future, but is on-demand printing as revolutionary as the first printing presses? Books once had a print run and then went out of print unless reprinted.

    Tweet ‘Blinkered’ is often used in a negative sense, that of not being able to see the whole picture. But imagine a busy road pre the days of cars. Busy narrow roads with carts, carriages and people on horseback. With all the noise and confusion around perhaps the horses liked their blinkers so they were […]
