About the author

I am a student and follower of the perennial tradition – the belief that many myths, fairy stories and faith traditions point to common truths at their heart. I have had a lifelong interest in the power of myth and the oral tradition of story telling.

I enjoy reading contemporary fiction, short stories, literary classics, and tales with a mystical or spiritual element. I am slowly increasing my appreciation of other genres, and like to be surprised by new discoveries, especially to find tales that don't follow set formulae or reach tidy conclusions.

Similarly, I like to discover new meaning in familiar tales – for which fairy stories, myths, legends and their like offer rich territory.

I also write myself – short stories, books relating to spirituality and (previously) a few business titles.

I am an interfaith minister ordained by the One Spirit Interfaith Foundation, as well as a teacher, storyteller and retreat host. I previously worked as a management consultant and conflict coach.

Being autistic, a would-be mystic and not approaching my reflections from an academic standpoint, I like to think that I approach my writing with an open heart and a keen curiosity.

I have no fixed home, pursuing a nomadic lifestyle that allows me to follow my heart.
