You disagree with someone, your weapon of choice should be thoughtful and steady aimed argumentation. Develop your verbal marksmanship through education, through reading.

Did you know that Shakespeare’s Third Folio is actually rarer than the First Folio?

Diving deep into #ancientgreece and enjoying it immensely.

Our time is not so unique or developed as we might think. There is a lot to be learned from the past.

Handwritten letter by Jane Austen to her sister Cassandra, 1811.

I am reading one Jane Austen novel every year. 2024 was Pride & Prejudice, this year will be Emma.

If you want to be a good writer, read! It’s the best way to expand your perspective and frame of reference.

I am ready to dive deep into ancient Greek mythology.

Stand by for the first series of shorts about the old Greek gods.

Who were they and what impact did they have on art and literature?

On 10th December 2001, I attended the Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring World Premiere at Leicester Square in London.

On the bus home from the after-party, I sat next to an upcoming actor named Andy Serkis. (continues below)
