Author Information

Born in Sussex England in 1948, I attended St. Catherine's College, Oxford and Surrey University. After working for British Telecom for about twenty years, in 1994 I solved my midlife crisis by moving with my wife to Greece, where I found a new career teaching English and a new spiritual home in the Orthodox Church into which we were both baptized in 2001. I live with my wife Eleni in Elounda, Crete.
