Books By Giles Dawnay - Author

Giles Dawnay is a 40 year-old GP trainee from Hereford, UK. He came into the medical world later-on in life having done an English Degree and then working and travelling in Latin America, Africa and the South Pacific until he was 27. It was on these adventures that he discovered his fascination for human nature and the myriad of ways our lives can play out. Since starting practicing as a doctor he has found writing poetry as a great way to wrestle with and attempt to make sense of what comes his way on a daily basis. He wrote his first book "Brushstrokes" -- after having a small stroke when he was 34. The act of writing was as healing as it was a chance to share his story, for the first time Hemmingway's famous words about how to write really made sense to him -- 'just sit at the typewriter and bleed'. His first published novel "The Rising of the Son" was with Arkbound in 2020. For more info please see www.gilesdawnay.com.
