About the author

I began writing in my mid-thirties while taking a degree in English literature at Kingston Polytechnic. I later went on to do the MA in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, where my tutors were Sir Malcolm Bradbury and Angela Carter. I have published three collections of short stories, Brother, What Strange Place is This? Roof Whirl Away and The Corner of Moon Street; seven novels: Inappropriate Happiness, All the Running You Can Do, The Last Pines, Here's that Rainy Day, The Quality of Knowing, Bread and Honey and The Stone Fish as well as a collection of poetry: To the Boy.
All books are available from Reuben Books and some are on Amazon kindle. Many of my stories have been published in magazines and on the Internet. In 1995 I was an award winner in the Ian St James international short story competition and my story appears in the anthology Pleasure Vessels. I also have a story in the U.S. anthology Rebellion.

I was raised on London’s not-so-wild western edge and now live in rural Norfolk.
