'If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.'

                                                                                      Benjamin Franklin 

​

Whether or not I'm forgotten after I'm dead doesn't concern me, but I've taken up Franklin's challenge to write something worth reading. 

 

Throughout my life, I’ve nurtured a relationship with the written word as a reader and writer. Most of my writing has been narrative non-fiction and journalistic commentary published in outdoor magazines in the UK, USA, and Australia. I was General Editor of a book on the Seven Summits and authored a coming-of-age memoir, both first published in the UK.

​

Two book-length works are in progress: a memoir about finding my truth through a thirty-year relationship with Mount Everest (pictured); and a novel about the appetites that drive us. 

​

I write to share a view of the big questions: life, death, meaning & purpose, and explore them through the lens of metaphor and symbolism.
