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...

A very busy day with Promoting Yorkshire Authors and Harrogate Writers’ Circle

The morning saw me in Bedale Community Library with fellow PYA members Kate Swann, Marla Skidmore and Neelie Wicks. We all write very different things – Kate is a poet, Marla writes historical fiction and Neelie is a children’s author – and left the audience with plenty of food for thought. (There was also real food in the shape of biscuits and a delicious cake!)

Later on, I was over in Harrogate to adjudicate HWC’s short story competition and I enjoyed that too. It’s always interesting to read the work of other groups and some of the entries were so good that I’d love to have written them myself.
