As explored in my memoir, All That I Forgot, I know what it’s like to have prolonged amnesia. Due to my emergence from this peculiar condition, I’ve become a follower of amnesia stories in books, films, TV shows and even the odd podcast. Please join me for All Things Amnesia below.
All That I Forgot
As of May 2024, my memoir All That I Forgot is changing hands. The publisher, Bad Apple Press, is closing its doors. Presently, it’s available on Amazon Australia (hardcover) and select bookstores. Stay tuned.
