A life of writing, a love of writing
In the same way a moth is drawn to the light, I cannot resist the call of the word.
Ever since my first piece of prose appeared in the school magazine when I was eight years old, my insatiable desire to explore, and an unquenchable inquisitive nature means my passion for writing has never dulled.
I have written for local and national magazines, online and hard copy, including The Nursing Standard, Somerset Life and Scholastic; covering a range of topics including left handedness, lip reading, Linda McCartney’s memorial garden, and historic houses. My research into a war article, led me to discover the life story of a soldier who was one of the first to die from mustard gas poisoning in the Great War.
I have also run creative writing workshops, author readings and given presentations to primary and secondary school pupils.
My work has allowed me into the lives and homes of people, uncovering long-forgotten memories and hidden secrets.
With a blend of rural and urban life, bright lights and sleepy coves, the energy and clamour mixed with the calm and harmonious that I have experienced over the years, gives me a vision that goes beyond the obvious and propels my desire to create a world where the reader can escape the here and now.
