edit data

I've been a journalist, a postman, a glass engraver, a bad singer, run a theatre company, an actor, a playwright, a communications consultant...
but whatever I have done, I have always been a writer.

I was born and bred in and around Manchester, then lived and worked in Bolton, Herefordshire, Southampton and London, before travelling all over the place as a comms consultant.

I have now landed on the beautiful Isle of Wight, and hope to be allowed to stay!

Following Dickens

In Rochester today and Dickens - my hero - is still a presence.
Love his stories, but pleased I use shorter sentences!
The heritage here is definitely an inspiration for my future books, so watch out world...😀
