Once upon a time..
I taught babies to swim, all over the world. Before that I was a teacher (including in India). Now I write novels, features, and am the books editor for Dorset Magazine. I also wrote a blog about some of the profound moments my fellow Piddlehinton villagers experienced during Covid19. If you’re interested in any of these, please see below.
Features

I write a regular book review column, along with features and profiles for Dorset Magazine, Writing Magazine and The Bookseller..

“As the boom of his Barnsley-flavoured voice fills every corner of the room, his joyous mirth crashes from guffaw to giggle.”

“I was gripped from start to finish. I’ve read it three times now and loved it every time. Deeply affecting, it’s a book I keep wanting to recommend to people in my role as a bibliotherapist.”
