Alexander Ryan is a British technologist, software developer, photographer, digital artist and storyteller who lives aboard Cornelia Anna, a century-old Dutch sailing barge, with his cat Trevor. With a systems-minded approach to the world and a dry sense of humour, he writes candidly about serious illness without allowing it to eclipse the rest of life. Waiting for the Bell is his continuing autobiographical account of cancer, family, friendship, work, uncertainty and the ordinary moments that carry on around treatment, written while the journey is still unfolding.
