Autorenporträt

I have known the author of this book for over forty years, and in the year 2008, he had a nasty accident. It happened on a Saturday morning when while taking a shower, suddenly he slipped and broke his back in two places. This accident left him paraplegic and confined to a wheelchair. He spent eight months in hospital, four of which were spent confined to bed. As you can imagine, this was a bad time in his life. When he was eventually discharged from the hospital and returned home, he was at a loss as to what to what to do with the hours of time he now had that were filled with emptiness. Several months passed, and he was becoming more depressed. His personality changed. He became quick-tempered and uncomfortable to be around despite the best efforts of his close family. This new and not-so-nice person was the total opposite to the person he once was. One day his cousin Jan Moran Neil called him on the telephone. This telephone call was to change his life. Janet is a teacher of creative writing, as well as an author in her own right. In this telephone conversation, Janet suggested that he might take up writing as a way to not only pass the time but would also help to exercise and occupy his mind. I remember hearing him tell Janet that he had never written anything in his life, not even a letter. "It doesn't matter what you write," Janet told him. Just write the first thing that comes into your head. That was the beginning of a new life for him. To date he has now written four books. This is the first one to be published. I am pleased to say that he is now back to his old self and once again a pleasure to be with.
