Please forgive you

Charley’s late wife, Julie fought brain cancer before leaving us in 2004.

Please forgive you was written in response to the requests of friends that Julie’s life be commemorated, celebrated and remembered. 

A lifelong lover of writing, literature and music, Charley began the book with some trepidation in that year. Supported and encouraged by his friends, editors and agent, the manuscript in final form was completed in 2010.

Charley now lives with his partner, Rosemary Howe (Rose). Sadly, Rose is now fighting her own battle with Brain Cancer.
