Nouméa, New Caledonia
My love of story-telling was nourished by repeated readings of Robert Graves’ classic retelling of the Greek myths. The narratives and characters which have stimulated and informed the Western consciousness for over two thousand years seared themselves upon my imagination.
Those myths led me from the blessed island of my childhood to the wind-scoured medieval streets of St Andrews to study the poets, philosophers, dramatists and biographers of the classical world. Master’s Degree in hand, the fickle winds of fate then drove me to Paris, Madrid, Rome, and finally to Nouméa, in New Caledonia, a South Pacific paradise.
But that’s enough of my story. I’m at your service to write your story, so that your voice might speak across the ages. Let a member of your family, a friend, or a stranger be moved to action, or tears, or laughter, or reflection, or a smile of recognition upon reading your unique life experience, whether of family, adventure, business or sport (to name but a few possibilities).
I look forward to hearing from you.
