Roger Radford is a British journalist and author of three published thrillers, The Winds of Kedem, Schreiber's Secret (for which film rights were bought) and Informed Consent. Details of his novels can be found at www.freewebs.com/rradford. Radford, aged 58, covered two wars in the Middle East as a foreign correspondent. He worked for the Associated Press between 1969-71 and for Reuters between 1975-1998. In July 1998, he became disabled with the rare and incurable spinal condition, adhesive arachnoiditis. He is one of the leaders of the fight for justice for victims of this uniquely painful iatrogenic (doctor-caused) illness. In his particular case, the illness was caused by injection into the spine of the toxic dye Pantopaque during a myelogram in 1979. Roger and his wife Yael have three children: Max, Karen and Dan. Roger Radford is currently based in London.
