Graeme Sims - shepherd, dog author, cancer survivor
Graeme Sims is an amazing man who, when his career in advertising ended abruptly, moved on to become a shepherd, showman, vicar, and author - all thanks to a lost Border Collie he found abandoned.
In this interview, Graeme reflects on his life with dogs with honesty and humour, telling us how he came to write his latest book, The Answer Is Under Your Nose after beating cancer.
Graeme has had success in many careers, but what I love is that he has remained very down to earth and very real he knows who he is, and he loves his dogs.
Of course, part of his presence is all the life experiences that have brought him to this point, and in this interview he talks about what inspired his latest book The Answer Is Under Your Nose, and reflects on his long and varied life.
You can find out more about Graeme at his website Graeme Sims Art. You can find out more about his current book The Answer Is Under Your Nose at his publisher, Austin Macauley's website. You can also find Graeme on Facebook .
