Nearly thirty years as a University Nurse Lecturer and Director of online Health Studies degree programme, I wrote academic teaching modules up to Master level. A PhD in cancer studies has been an excellent grounding for research in writing projects. An avid writer all my life from poems to novels, my passion is telling stories that shock, have subliminal messages or make people laugh. I have written a juke box musical that I produced and staged in 2014 to standing ovations. I will never stop writing, for as long as I am alive I will always have a story to tell.
