This blog takes its title from the fact that kindness originally meant being kin, or kindred, or of the same kind – a reminder, if you like, that we are all humankind. I post regularly on Friday.

I’m Jamie Jauncey, a writer living in the village of Birnam, just across the river Tay from Dunkeld, in Perthshire. Apart from writing this blog, I’ve published novels and a biography, I help people and organisations find their voices and tell their stories. I'm a founder of the creative writing programme Dark Angels, and with my wife Sarah, a counsellor and artist, I run personal development workshops. I’m also a musician. I hope you enjoy A Few Kind Words!
