My Non-fiction

Tales of an Accidental Life is the story of my experiences and travels as a (pretty unsuccessful) young deck cadet in the British Merchant Navy in the early 1970s. Not a particularly heavy book on the technical side (I wasn’t very good at it at the time let alone 40 plus years later) it describes a series of adventures from the U.K. to the Middle East, the Pacific and other areas.

The forms of Capital sort of carries on the autobiographical theme of my non-fiction so far. Some years ago, between various teaching and training roles I enrolled on a PhD study into Higher Education & Social Justice linked to the concepts of human and cultural capital. After many years I ceased my research (unsuccessfully), but have decided to utilise my interest in capital to write a layman’s guide to the subject.
