Introduction I was born in England and educated in Manchester and at Cambridge University, where I read history. Australia has been home for over forty years and I live in marvellous Melbourne where I have worked as a management consultant. For many years, I was a regular columnist in professional journals and co-authored “Shakespeare and Management”, a bardic guide for struggling and stressed executives. Having completed a Doctor of Management Program focused on 3rd age living and working, with Charles Handy as one of the assessors, I am now living my dream and becoming an established writer.
