An entertaining, informative and occasionally funny overview of ways in which people you've probably never heard of may have made a profound difference to your life. From unwitting participants in major historic events, to largely unsung inventors and experts, this is a talk aimed at the widest range of groups and intended to spark debate and discussion in any questions at the end.

I have been writing for publication since I was a student; a career that has allowed me to explore a number of subjects to the point of being an expert with a fund of stories.
At the end of the last century I founded the UK's first higher education course in Professional Writing.
Over the years I have written and spoken on a range of subjects but am currently offering talks based on life-long interests and passions.
All of these talks are negotiable in terms of length, the range of examples brought into any discussion and the extent to which hard facts and humour are included. More than anything I am happy to negotiate each event to take into account the needs of an audience.
