I love researching and writing. As a child I often wrote poems and stories. In fact, I vividly remember being excited when I was taking my GCSE English Language exam, as one of the questions allowed you to write a story! I bet not many people get excited when they are taking an exam!!!

In my former life, I worked at a college of further education where I created web and intranet content, produced articles for a student magazine, and wrote press releases and guides.

Over the years I have had a few articles published in local and regional newspapers, regional magazines, and a couple of national magazines. Most of my past articles have centred round health and fitness or small business entrepreneurs. Some years ago I had an article published in Prima Magazine. More recently I have had a few articles published in Platinum, a magazine for the over 55’s. I am also in the process of writing a spy-political thriller.
