About Me

I write a mixture of poetry, fiction and biography, do the odd bit of book reviewing and journalism, as well as tutoring creative writing, mentoring and consultancy work in order to earn enough to buy the food and the wine! I live in a very beautiful part of Cumbria, but as my partner is a sculptor working in Italy, I spend quite a lot of time there too.
