About the author

The starting point came when I read Austin Kleon’s inspirational book ‘Steal Like An Artist’.
He wrote, ‘When I was asked to talk to students at a community college in upstate New York in 2011, I sat down and wrote a talk based on a list of 10 things I wished I’d heard when I was starting out.’
Number 3 on that list of ten things is ‘Write the book you want to read.’
And that’s what I’ve been doing ever since.
After privately sharing a few stories, family and friends began encouraging me to publish.
