New book news & taster poem

It’s not long until the release of my new book The Edge of Darkness on 28th April. I thought I’d share one of my favourite poems from the book as a taster for you. I think we can all agree that time just seems to fly by and the older we get the quicker it passes. This piece was written with precisely that in mind. I hope you enjoy it.

SANDS OF TIME

 

Forever shifting

 

The sands of time will not stand still for any of us

 

An ocean of history, of events millennia old surrounds us

 

Unable to reshape the past, we strive to shape the future to our own ideals

 

Ceaselessly, the sands of time reconfigure and keep us wondering

 

What is to come?

Yesterday evening I recorded a Facebook Live video in which I talk about the book, what it’s about, why I wrote it as well as answering some questions that I’ve been asked about it. So if you’re on Facebook please feel free to click on the link below to watch the video and find out more about the book.

Audio Described Movies on iTunes

The number of audio described movies on iTunes is slowly but surely increasing. This is really great news if, like me, you use audio description when watching films.

 

To view the list of audio described movies currently available simply go into the iTunes app on your iOS device or Mac and submit a search using the words Audio Description as the search term. You can view an information page about each movie and purchase them in the same way as you purchase music. Some even give you the option to rent the movie. Once you’ve rented a movie you have 30 days to start watching it and 48 hours to finish it once you’ve started to watch it.

 

The list is pretty small at the moment but more titles are being added week by week so it’s well worth checking it frequently. I’ve certainly bought a few from the list and very much look forward to increasing my audio described movie library as the list grows.

Exciting news from AVC

It has been a little while since I wrote a blog entry, but to be honest I have been kept pretty busy with one thing or another. My projects with #BOBcatDigitalLimited, #DolphinComputerAccess and my private #Coaching and #AssistiveTechnology training clients have all kept me working hard.

 

Yesterday I had a very pleasant interview with the delightful Lei Chan, Editor of #ChamberMK magazine #InBusiness. AVC will be featured in the magazine’s first edition which is due to be published on 19th November 2014. 

 

In other news, I am very pleased to announce that AVC has secured an agreement with assistive technology providers Dolphin to deliver their UK telephone and Skype training to new and existing users.

 

These are exciting times indeed.
