About the author

My first published work was in 1964 when I won a school prize for an angst-ridden sonnet about climbing up a municipal rubbish dump.
My latest work is somewhat lighter - it describes a repeat trip I took around the United States on Greyhound buses after a gap of 50 years.
In between I have had one career as a journalist writing for local, national and medical publications - and another as a communications trainer, trying (with limited success) to persuade doctors and other health professionals that they do not need to write in pompous prose.
I have published four books on medical writing, a memoir and a travel book. I live in in Surrey, England with a saintly wife and a needy garden.
