Disabled by a polio vaccine many years ago, and possibly considered a drain on the NHS by some, sold by my father and kidnapped by a foster parent, I feel I have an insight into life's little foibles. I am uneducated in the formal sense, so my main aptitude is an imagination and a good sense of humour.
I started my writing with poems and found some success, managing to get published in the Staffordshire Life magazine as well as other publications. One of my poems, listed alongside; Coleridge, Lord Tennyson, Shakespeare, DeFord and Taylor Swift is used in a Russian university to teach how to determine rhyme.
I write for two ex-pat newspapers in Spain and wrote for an ex-pat magazine for two years. I am now on my fourth book, part autobiograp

“I was born in Sheffield where part of my heart still lies, of course not literally, that would be silly, but I was raised in the Midlands. In Yorkshire, we call a spade a spade and if you don't like it, duck but it's different in the Midlands, we don't use conjunctions and everybody's pronoun is Duck. I am uneducated in the formal sense of the word due to a long-term illness, and the fact that society wasn't overly concerned with educating girls back then. I have learned through life and desire how to play with things, including grammar.”
