Noel Terry completed a BA degree in the late 1970s when feminism was hell-bent on opening doors for women. When he updated it early 2000s after travelling the globe and operating a backpacker business, he already sensed which door had taken the most traffic. Noel’s observation of the changing mating world from sexual revolution to today’s (cosmetic) sensual revolution has been published in various periodicals. Now he has weaved it all into a book, citing the Global Financial Crisis as having an even greater impact on mating and gender matters than feminism ever did.

As a freelance journalist and now free-to-experiment indie author, Noel enjoys writing hard-slogging research to both enlighten AND entertain. He believes in the 4 ‘ity’s’ in writing research for today’s non-fiction in Society & Culture – credibility, brevity, mixed with a little hilarity and sensuality. Hopefully it will attract younger readers to social commentary to better understand today’s complex world. But if the new zeitgeist of indie publishing is to defy the ivory tower of tradition in what gets published – and how – it is only with the support of indie readers that will make that happen.

You might see Noel on the dance floor for he is a keen Lindy Hop/Jitterbug dancer in the swing revival craze sweeping the globe. He is hoping to pick up a few exotic steps on his next venture into how the marriage market panned out in post-apartheid South Africa where his daughter now lives, so watch this space.
