  Following his beautiful wife Margie's diagnosis of dementia (Alzheimer's disease) at the relatively tender age of sixty, Carey became an advocate for carers and the families of loved ones facing a similar diagnosis.
  
  That's a Nice Giraffe is his first book—an honest, heartfelt account of love, loss, and endurance in the face of one of life's cruellest diseases. It tracks his experiences coping with Margie's short-term memory loss, her cognitive deterioration, and, later, her troubling behavioural and personality changes. This book covers the full spectrum of his experiences and raw emotions, commencing at the time of Margie's diagnosis through to the heart-wrenching decision to place Margie into full-time residential care.
  
  While recognising that everyone's journey will be different, this book provides meaningful insight and wisdom for anyone wondering what might lie ahead. It is an inspiring, practical, and sometimes even funny companion for husbands, wives, children, friends, and relatives of a loved one diagnosed with dementia—especially younger‑onset dementia.

  A Bike at Large is the fourth book in Jo’s ‘At Large’ series. 
  When he was overtaken by a jogger on a borrowed mountain bike, Jo knew it was time for drastic action. Welcome to the world of a man in his 60s and his new e-bike. 
  His first injury occurred within one foot! Setting off for his first practice ride round a car park, he misjudged the width of the handlebars and scraped his hand on the cycle shop’s stone wall. 
  ‘You’ll go places you’ll never have dreamed of,’ said the shop owner. Prophetic words indeed. Eighteen hours later Jo was embedded in his neighbours hedge due to a clothing malfunction. Fortunately, before setting out he’d put his ego and self-esteem in the top drawer in the kitchen. 
  With the emergency ambulance on speed-dial, Jo climbs a steep learning curve on a series of mini adventures throughout the north of England, mercifully with a diminishing distance to injury ratio. 
  By calling his e-bike a ‘Lifestyle Investment’, it took his wife’s mind off the cost. At the time she needed some new slippers, so it was a sensitive issue. Asked whether he was searching for eternal youth? ‘Not really,’ he said, ‘more trying to keep out of my eternal hole in the ground.’ 
  Fuelled by red wine and optimism, off he goes………
