Michael Doherty has led a very eventful life. A bizarre childhood set the scene for Michael to become a 'Stranger in a Strange Land', an outsider, an observer.
After completing his education at a tenth-rate, boys-only school, straight out of a Dickens novel, where only the maths and sciences were taught, no art, no sport, no physical education, nothing practical, and with almost daily canings for many of the unfortunate pupils, he began his life's journey in this alien land.
He has worked as a teacher, a soldier, a salesman, and has owned a small manufacturing business, to name just a few. He is now retired, and busier than ever.
His interests include writing, blogging, reading, philosophy, psychology, spirituality, self-help, personal development, healing, eastern philosophies especially Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, and anything to do with understanding what makes people behave the way they do.
He has written a Beginner's Guide to the 'I Ching', due for publication Sep 2016.
He is a lover of language, is occasionally accused of being pedantic, which he doesn't deny, and does admit to being somewhat of a 'Grammar Nazi'.
He currently offers various pre-publishing services, from proofreading and copy-editing, right through to preparing manuscripts for publication in both print and digital (eBook) formats.
