My writing enables me to reach beyond the limitations of my Multiple Sclerosis. I have suffered this illness for over thirty years, having many relapses during that time. But when I write I am transported from the mundane into the realms of delight and wonder be it poetry or novel, I'm far too busy to be ill. Please read and enjoy!
