Biography

Only quads affected initially but at 18 my right achilles tendon tightened up. Due to the ignorance of youth I trusted the surgeon who put my lower leg in a cast. When it was removed I couldn’t stand. An incompetent sociopathic physiotherapist didn’t help and I became housebound then, 4 years later, bedbound.

I watch a lot of films particularly sci-fi and comedy and I read a lot – mainly non-fiction from ancient history and science to engineering, psychology and marketing. I have also got a deep interest in crystals, gemstones and lapidary.
