I am interested in the communication of ideas whether it be in writing, media, film or the performance arts.
I enjoy writing short stories, poems and non fiction pieces. I have had work featured on children's radio as well in anthologies and magazines from around the world such as The School Magazine (Australia), High Five (USA), The Caterpillar (Ireland) Storytime (UK) and Short Edition (France).
I have also written four print books and an audio book - a retelling of the story of Noah. My short pieces and books have been short listed or placed in competitions such as the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards, The Purple Dragon Fly Awards, Nestle Munch Bunch Storytelling Contest, The Moondance International Film Festival, Readers Favourites Contest, The Winchester Writer's Festival, The Plough International Poetry Prize etc.
I originally came from a factual and factual entertainment radio production background. The areas included local radio/education/religion and children's audio magazines. The mediums ranged live and prerecorded studio shows and outside live and prerecorded broadcast events.
I have wanted for some time to develop the craft of writing short scripts, after viewing short films and saw how effective this medium could be.
In film making, I have worked on two indie film development projects in research and development. Unfortunately both projects were never completed. One was the promotions of a horror film (to develop an award winning short film into a feature) and the other was a documentary researching historical facts and contributors tracing the origins on free speech.
I also worked as part of the production team on a short dance film (Pointe Aheade). This was mainly researching and organisation.
I served as a longlist judge for SEIFF, assessing films for progression to the main jury.

I once had a small concern selling inexpensive collectables. And I appeared on the antiques television programme "Dickson's Real Deal" selling a Sampson Morden propelling pen.
In a former life, I have been a Butlin's Redcoat amongst other entertaining things!
I have been a vegetarian for over thirty years.
I am a great believer in luck! (It works both ways!) For example I came first in the needlework exam at school one year, when another pupil elbowed me and surprised me into accidentally pressing the sewing machine pedal down creating a perfect straight line of stitches on the test piece.
"Different strokes for different folks."
"Do unto others as you would have done by" (I try....)
"Do you mind me sharing this planet with you?" (Lola - Kinky Boots)
“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default.”
― J.K. Rowling
