Walking into Alchemy. A non-fiction book in English is about the benefits of walking as a way to improve mental health and well-being. A heart-warming book about the beauty of the Austrian countryside, about finding one's path in life and a very positive book about the transformative power of nature. Walking into Alchemy was listed as one of the top 100 books in the category "Walking through Fitness" in the UK in 2023. You can watch the drone film of my walk and read the reviews. The book is also available in German as Alchemie des Gehens.
What links all my interests and work?
I have enjoyed a variety of careers and have many passions and interests, but there is one thing that links all of them, and that is communication—each image below will take you to a page that explains my passion for communication in all its forms, whether it be playwrighting, curating or lecturing. I love words, and I love to share my knowledge.
Blogging
As well as writing books and plays, I really like the immediacy of writing blogs. I write about walking, of course, but also Shakespeare, playwrighting, paintings, Gustav Holst and more! My blog page is open to Guest Bloggers, so please do get in touch.

I am currently working on my next book, which has the working title of An Artist at War and Peace (1939-1965). A book for those interested in art, history, and the dynamic between conflict and the pursuit of peace. My father, Leonard Eason (1925-2015) is the artist in question. I am basing the book on my father's Second World War Diaries and artwork with extra information from his identical twin brother's unpublished autobiography, personal testimonies, family documents and yet more artwork - the Easons have been artists since at least the 19th century. The purpose of the book is to highlight perspectives often missing from discussions about the relationship between war, peace, and art. Having been posted to several RAF Bases in the British Isles, my father was sent by ship on a circuitous route via France, to Algiers, then back to Europe where he eventually ended up at RAF Klagenfurt in Southern Austria which coincidentally is less than an hour's drive from where I now live. There has been a lot of interest in my blog about RAF Klagenfurt which you can read here.
