After a long career writing boring technical documents, I decided it was time to try my hand at fiction. I figured all the words are the same, they just come in a different order! So I signed up for a Creative Writing/English Lit. BA (Hons.) degree, which I completed in 2023.

The Coffee Break Podcast is also available on my Podbean webpage (website link below) and other platforms, such as:
