Begin research on 17th century Irish healer, Valentine Greatrakes. Stumbled on the name in an article I read and got curious. Spend eight years traveling to England, Ireland and Scotland doing research with cohort historian, Iain Boal. One heck of an adventure. Write a book about Greatrakes that finally comes out 17 years later. Take my show, Not For Real, to New Zealand for a one month tour.
