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. 

I spend my spare time writing short stories, novellas and screenplays and I've been published several times online and in print in the UK, USA and Spain.

My latest passion is writing for my podcast channel and examples of my flash-fiction stories can be found on 'The Coffee Break Podcast' here on Wattpad. More are on my YouTube channel, (subscribers needed - it's free!):

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