Rob McShane

Right now, I'm living with MS and a brain that malfunctions at the drop of a hat! Life is certainly interesting and different! Talk about learning to be flexible! :)

With a history of classical piano training, time in Drama and Theatre Arts (although I was never a good actor...well, at least not on stage!), I have worked as a Professional Nurse and a Midwife (clinical and management) plus National Marketing and Selling of medical equipment and surgical supplies.

I always wanted to retire at 40 but forgot to be specific - you know, things like good health and a healthy bank balance!

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2000 (yep - I was 40!) and Medically Boarded in 2001. Life is certainly an interesting trip...day by day....moment by moment. What a ride!

Since then I have been fortunate enough to publish a book - The MageStaff - see below (most of it written before 2000!) and have now finished the first draft of a prequel and am well into writing a sequel, loads of poetry (check my blog: The Wayward Warrior), short stories and living life as it happens - you just never know what is around the next bend...!

Bragging rights
Published Author and Poet, Accomplished musician (although now unable to perform), Successful National Marketing and Sales Management, Successful Nurse and Nurse Manager.

Do hope you enjoy what tumbles out of my brain and makes it to the publishing stage - don't worry, I have it well checked before putting it up for you to savour.

All feedback welcome.

• The Mystic on Jan. 31, 2014
  
  Rich in description and movement; magic, death, life and potential, The Mystic draws us into a different world and moves us through it eloquently and tantalisiingly. Do hope this leads to a bigger story!
  
• The Knowledge of Existence on May 04, 2014
  
  Once again, Vanessa takes us outside of the box, on an unusual trip to a place she makes feel very real. Another great, descriptive and emotive read which will have you guessing from the beginning to the end.
  
• Twisted on May 04, 2014
  
  Fears and addictions; mermaids and children; people and ...things lost and found; holy sites, unholy dreams; and upside-down fairy tales abound. Darkness and life let go; stories that will rock your soul; ‘Twisted’ is a nightmare’s dream and a collection of tales you just have to read. Evocative; emotive; putting you just where she wants you, Vanessa has a unique style that is a pleasure to read whilst delving into subjects that will stretch your mind and emotions....and all with a twist at the end. What a ride!
