After graduating from film school in London, I emigrated to Montreal in 1987, where I still live with my two young children and their even younger goldfish. I spent over a decade as a music TV director before moving into the ad industry as an award-winning copywriter for clients such as Cirque du Soleil. In parallel to my corporate work, I’ve written novels, short stories, blogs, screenplays and a stage play.

I also write Young Adult and Children’s fiction under the name JB Dutton.
