Absolutely Delicious published!

My memoir, Absolutely Delicious: A Chronicle of Extraordinary Dying, came out on October 22nd. Being my own publisher was a huge challenge - a fantastic learning experience, and a headache! But the response to the book has been wonderful. The first organisation to write a review was Marie Curie. That was followed by an interview on BBC Radio Hereford and Worcester, and then a column in the Salisbury Journal by Tom Bromley. There’s more to come.

While I think that most people both in the US and in the UK would agree that we are largely death-denying societies, there is a lot going on to help remedy that situation, to normalise death, to educate about death, to listen to dying wishes, to plan in advance. It has been a privilege to come into contact with the people driving this development, and I look forward to whatever having published this book brings.
