About the author

I am extremely openminded, read and travel widely and can draw upon a very diverse network globally. This book is the first collation of ideas expressed over many years and I believe it will cut through much of the nonsense imposed in public life by the excessive application of protocol, etiquette and political correctness. One of the reasons behind the success of the OFFLINE dinners is that I allow participants to be vulnerable and release their inhibitions. Nobody stands on ceremony there and nor should they routinely do so in everyday life. I don’t much care where attendees come from or what they may do but I care very much that they are givers, open to fresh ideas and perspectives, curious about the world around them and, most importantly, interested in the lives of others. Live life, live OFFLINE!

Update #3 - Live Life, Live OFFLINE! Jan. 3, 2020

Thanks to your generous preorder and collective support, the book attracted the interest of 14 publishers. I have sifted through them and there are 6 with whom I am now engaged in ongoing discussions. One is based in London while the rest are in US. I shall be visiting at least two of the latter group next month as I shall be there on art business. 

As you are aware, the OFFLINE philosophy always encourages face to face meetings. You learn so much from body language, tone of voice and other personal factors. It is a big decision for me to choose the right publisher and I believe it is vital to look at people in the white of their eyes.  

I anticipate I will make my decision by the end of Feb by which time the manuscript should be good to go. Publication would be roughly four months from then, albeit the publisher will determine the precise timeline. In the interim, I shall whet your appetite with a few excerpts so do check back. All good wishes to you and your family for2020 x
