In 2008, work began on my book "On the Edge of Discovery:  contemporary paintings in a personal context".  Where to start? I had not written before, so talking about my life and art from childhood to the present time was a daunting task, but one I grew to enjoy the further I got into it. In about one month, and after several edits, the text was completed. I have now written a draft for a second book dealing with my travels and adventures in Ireland, but whether it ever attracts the interest of a publisher I don't know.  Creating a book is a very labour intensive activity involving a talented team of individuals. I learned a huge amount from this experience and have an even greater respect for books than I had in the past.
