Biography
Seymour Jacklin, the voice and author of *Stories from the Borders of Sleep*, gave up his full-time job as a Mental Health Nurse in mid-2010 in order to pursue a range of creative projects that were becoming too lively to confine to evenings and weekends.
*Stories from the Borders of Sleep* is a project that draws together many of his passions, grown over 40 years of living and never quite outgrowing his childish imagination. Many of the stories blend spirituality with his love for the English countryside and a lot of them are based on dreams.
Seymour was born in Zimbabwe and enjoyed an African childhood, surrounded by a landscape that continues to haunt his waking and sleeping imagination. He has lived in Durham, UK, ever since arriving there as a student in 1996 to read Anthropology (he wanted to study Folklore, and it was the nearest he could get). After graduating, he passed through a succession of employment scenarios and got married before deciding to train as a psychiatric nurse. The most consistent threads, throughout his life, however, have been an awareness of Divine reality, a passion for the written and spoken word, and an over-active imagination.
