About

I describe myself as an author and illustrator and my work can be found online at various sources, posting as abtw777.  See details below.

I’m the author of Conatus, Twenty-One Levels of Self-Deception and Utopia, Governance and the Commons, amongst other works.

Printed copies of my books are distributed free from various outlets, including ‘Little Free Libraries’.

Original pen and ink illustrations are distributed free under the title of ‘Art for All’.

Most of my writing is non-fiction and the subjects addressed are philosophy, spirituality, politics, climate change and the peace movement.

I hope that you will find my writing thought-provoking.  And if you do, I’d love to hear back from you! It would be great if you took a few moments to share your thoughts about a particular story or book.  I’d be happy to hear from you and to answer any questions – it’s all about the conversation!
