'We've got printers' ink instead of blood in our veins,' my grandfather told me. He had lifted me on to his lap and I was gently stroking the blue veins on his old hand. Later I deliberately cut my finger to find out if blue ink came out. It didn't. I got a scolding and a sticking plaster was put on it. But as soon as I learned my letters I started to write, like all the other Hartleys--my family name--who then thronged Fleet Street.My website contains the essence of my life's work, in CALL NO MAN MASTER: what I did in my 50-60 years following Gurus and teachers, to THE PATHLESS LAND: what I thought about it all in the end. There are also historical and other novels etc.
My most recent published book OF FIRE AND MUSIC, was first conceived years ago, crossing Loch Dunvegan with Dame Flora MacLeod of MacLeod, 28th Chief of the Clan MacLeod, and other house guests at Dunvegan Castle in Skye. I wrote it in the end for her grandson John, 29th Chief. Sadly, although he chose the title and was supportive, he died in 2007 before he could read it.
May you read and enjoy, as I have enjoyed my many years of writing and living.
