I've studied creative writing with the Open University while working full time and being a Dad. I've published three works with Castlegreen Publishing, one of which is available in its entirety on wattpad.
I also write poetry, there is a collection on wattpad (Bloom) and blog as often as I can manage. Themself is approaching 700 posts, mainly book reviews and bits about learning to write and reflections on my experience with publishing.
As of 2022 I've been living in Scotland, and with the move to a new country I've got busy with lots of other things and the writing publicly has slowed down.
In early 2025 I'm still here, and doing small amounts of writing.

I'm just over half way through this for #NaNoWriMo 2019. It needs a new name though. I'll give a free paperback to whoever comes up with the best name for it! https://www.wattpad.com/story/162561917View all Conversations
