Don’t want to read a bunch of stuff? Here’s a 24 sec video that will give you the gist.
Welcome to my website. I started my working life as a Drama teacher and went on to be a University lecturer, teaching Creative Writing. I’ve published two novels with Headline Review: The Water’s Edge (2003) and The Haven Home for Delinquent Girls (2004) as well as various, short stories, poems and articles, and a non-fiction book called A Small Steps Guide to Goal Setting and Time Management. In 2018 I published a short story collection called Unusual Places. I have also self-published several small steps guides to the writing process and three books of lesson plans for Drama teachers. At the moment I teach part-time on the Open University’s MA in Creative Writing and work for myself from a shed at the bottom of our garden for the rest of the week. There are various freebies available on this website for your to download, depending on whether you’re interested in reading, writing or teaching. Here’s one of them:
