I am in my early thirties (that should cover me not having to update this for a few years!), live in Staffordshire with my fiancé and two cats, and I am a self employed composer and writer.

My first collection of short stories 'The Dimension Scales and Other Stories' is available NOW through all the major eBook retailers.

I studied creative writing at the Open University for two years as part of a mixed philosophy/writing BA and recently I have turned to writing professionally alongside my other 'jobs' of composing for commercial and community projects and sound editing.

As a writer my other major achievements to date are an audio recording of my children's story 'The Wrong Jack' featuring Film & TV actor Conrad Nelson, that has been developed into a radio play available for download through 'The Wireless Theatre Kids' website. I've also received several writing credits for episodes of BBC Radio 4 Extra's 'Newsjack' (sketches and one-liners) and wrote a short animation script for a major community engagement project that was produced and continues to be publicly broadcast in film festivals and arts events. I also have a poem included in a new collection 'The Dance is New', available through my page on Amazon.
