Hello, and thank you for visiting my site. I hope that you'll return often and always find something of interest about my world and what inspires me to pick up a pen. (This is a figure of speech, unfortunately. My handwriting is terrible!) Here's what I've been up to recently...

Sights & Sounds of Ripon 2025

The annual showcase of all Ripon has to offer included local writers’ groups this year and here I am in the Cathedral with Leah Fletcher from the Hornblower Press. During my ‘shift’, I was happy to answer enquiries about Ripon Writers’ Group and Write-On, Ripon!, both of which are open to new members. 

There was a lot else going on in our little city, with performances from local choirs and dancers as well as various exhibitions and free entry to all three museums. 

The sun shone brightly on the proceedings and everyone had the feeling that spring was just around the corner.
