My passion for wildlife
began early

I used to smuggle roadkill into the house despite my mother's preference for flowers.

    Care not Cure: David's Escape

    Sometimes perhaps a short life and a happy one is better than anything we doctors have to offer.

    Dr James LeFanu in the Daily Telegraph

    Madagascar Misadventure

    I found the main characters well drawn and I like the tone and atmosphere of the book

    Snowfed Waters

    Snowfed Waters is a great read. It is an engaging love story; at times a fast-moving thriller; a thoughtful account of cultures that are baffling to one another; and a vividly detailed and observant travel book - all in one. It movingly tells the story of a troubled and outspoken young woman, Sonia, who travels to Nepal in search of distraction and finds healing instead. I defy any reader not to fall in love with the teenage local girl, Moti, a wonderful creation. There is a good ending too, not entirely predictable but absolutely right.
