Authors With RD Causing A Commotion
Two very different British authors, both of whom are affected by retinal degeneration, are featured in recent news articles.
Children's author Julie Hearn talks about how she has coped with a recent diagnosis of retinal degeneration in 'On the bright side' (The Times, 5 February 2005).
Thriller writer James H Jackson, author of the Counter-Terrorist Handbook, discusses retinitis pigmentosa as well as tactics to avoid injury in the event of a terrorist attack in ' Keeping an eye on terrorism' (Telegraph, 17 February 2005). While the article doesn't give any specific counter-terrorist strategies for people who can't see grenades or police cordons, the article does include an anecdote about Jackson failing to recognise one of the world's most recognisable women while working on a script with Guy Ritchie.
