Simon C BartonSimon Charles Barton was born just outside of London, England in 1960. Simon has dedicated much of his life to engineering, relocating his family to Raleigh, NC in 1994 as a specialist Design and Application Engineer. Simon ran his own business in Raeigh for several years, living with his wife, Sarah, and their three children. Simon was forced to close his business in 2015, two years after suffering a sudden, massive right-hemisphere, ischemic stroke - limiting Simon's physical and cognitive abilities. Simon soon discovered his love of writing, reinventing himself as an author and poet, and publishing his first book in 2019, "Not so Green as Cabbage Looking." Their kids having grown into adults, Simon and Sarah now enjoy quiet lives in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Read More Read Less
