Til Death Don't Us Part: a life of passion and purpose When Oliver had barely left his teens, his life dealt him a trio of horrific diagnoses. But upon surmounting the insurmountable, defying the odds, he emerged from his deathbed pen in hand, and buzzing with energy and excitement. Straight away, he returned to the Royal Academy of Music to compete his degree, before swapping sonatas for sentences as he began journalistic career. The newfound thirst for experience and heartfelt pursuit of what it is to be alive resulted in an almighty existence: from the top of Mont Blanc to the TV studios of London's West End. In the backdrop, through it all, remained a firm belief he wanted to help others along their path: and has assisted thousands of those seeking solace and advice. Now, as he arrives at Lulu after taking a writing sabbatical, there is a plethora of interesting books about to be published. They cover almost as wide an expanse as did the experiences driving his earlier life: from magical Merlin to communist theory to poetry and crop circles.
