I encourage you to buy my books published under the Humilis Hastings imprint. These are the self-published editions of my work, for which I split the proceeds 50/50 with a house of Carthusian monks in the English county of Sussex where I live. The Carthusians, whose Rule has remained unchanged since the 11th century, cannot qualify as a charity because their work is prayer — which the Charities Commission does not consider useful — so they need all the help they can get. My aim in writing is to make goodness attractive. I love simple human kindness and gentleness, and I am moved by human vulnerability. I am fascinated by the power that is within our grasp to lift one another up, to heal and strengthen and encourage each other - our power to bless. In the novels I write, I think of the reader sitting down to enjoy a book, the door of their imagination open wide to allow the story in to influence and shape their spirit. I accept the responsibility that confers as a great privilege, and it is my intention that when you put down any book of mine at the end of reading it, you will feel hopeful, peaceful and comforted, more ready to look on your fellow human beings with compassion and see their point of view. I live in the English town of Hastings, on East Sussex's south coast. I write a blog called Kindred of the Quiet Way. I would like to encourage you who are reading this to take the trouble to review on Amazon the books you read - as a reader I find customer reviews immensely helpful in making up my mind whether to purchase a book, and as a writer I find readers' reviews so valuable as feedback and food for thought.
