I apologise for my absence from here but I had no control over it. On the 2nd of January I had an operation on my kidney and then caught a severe blood infection–Sepsis I returned from the hospital yesterday knowing how close to death I came.

About Daniel Kemp
Daniel Kemp is a seventy-four-year-old member of The Society of Authors. He is also a bestselling writer. He writes stories that appeal to those who like challenging themselves to solve mysteries that are set out before their eyes.
His introduction to the world of espionage and mystery happened at an early age when his father was employed by the War Office in Whitehall, London, at the end of WWII. However, it wasn’t until after his father died that he showed any interest in anything other than himself!
On leaving academia he took on many roles in his working life: a London police officer, mini-cab business owner, pub tenant and licensed London taxi driver, but never did he plan to become a writer. Nevertheless, after a road traffic incident left him suffering from PTSD and effectively—out of paid work for four years, he wrote and self-published his first novel —The Desolate Garden.
Within three months of publication, that book was under a paid option to become a $30 million film. The option lasted for six years until distribution became an insurmountable problem for the production company.
All ten of his novels are now published by Next Chapter Publishing Company which has added an edition titled The Heirs And Descendants Collection, which holds all four books of that series, alongside an edition titled The Lies And Consequences Collection which contains all four volumes of that series.
He is the recipient of rave reviews from a prestigious Manhattan publication and described as—the new Graham Green—by a highly placed executive of Waterstones Books, for whom he did a countrywide tour of book signing events. He has also appeared on 'live' television in the UK publicising his first novel.
He likes to write quotes and it's on Goodreads where you can find them--- https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/list/72612151 An example of these quotes opens his novel--Once I Was A Soldier:--There is no morality to be found in evil. But to recognise that which is truly evil one must forget the rules of morality.

glad you are okay, that must have been so scary. good to see you again
It was very scary. People were telling me things I’d done that I had no recollection of at all. I was coming round in a hospital bed then fading away again.
I just knew you had sepsis. Been praying for you..a lot. So glad to see you online again. Take it slow and get lots of rest.
Your prayers worked, Onisha! It was a thoroughly scary time and one I have no wish to repeat. It came on from nowhere. One minute I was happily sleeping and the next I was fighting for every breath whilst being helped into an ambulance. I still have the stent in my kidney to be removed so not out of the woods quite yet.
Ah Danny, I thought you had sepsis when I read your FB post. Very scary. I was really worried about you when you still hadn’t reappeared yesterday. Please rest and look after yourself. Hugs.
There’s a huge part of what happened to me during those early Friday morning hours that I have simply no recollection of at all. If I’d been on my own when the shivering started then I believe I would be dead. It doesn’t get much more frightening than that.
Ohh Danny, how scary. You have been in my healing prayers. Take care, lovely. Xx
Thank you, Jane. All help gratefully received.
Hope you are well. Have been following your posts. But for some reason wordpress won’t let me like or reblog them. Stay well.
Thank you for that, Edward, but I have no idea why that applies.
Daniel, how frightening and painful this experience must have been. I am so glad you got caring
help as Sepsis is deadly. It is wonderful to have you back and on the mend. I am sure your doctors
will keep an eye on you and follow your recovery carefully.
With my warmest thoughts
Miriam
Thank you for that, delphini510, it’s very kind of you. As I’ve said before it wasn’t scary at the time for me because I was in a state of delusion after the shivering. I have no knowledge of an ambulance arriving or me getting boiling hot. Had I been on my own I firmly believe I would be dead.
