I always wanted to write. As a child my ambition was to be Jon Snow reporting from Beruit (giving my age away). But life sometimes gets in the way. Having had a varied career including selling everything from jewellery to sausages, i went back to university and did a history degree and retrained as a teacher. However, just after graduating i was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and did what anyone would do and moved to Spain.
Returning to the UK i taught for a short time until my health declined and studied for an MA in Creative Writing hoping to fulfill my earlier dream of writing for a living.
I now write short stories and am frequently told that my stories are all part of a bigger story. One day i will write that book. However, for now i'm hoping to share my experiences of writing with others. Hopefully one day a new JK Rowling or Lee Child will credit me with having been their inspiration to pick up a pen.
