This website was initially created as a place i could store things I’d written, both from when I was a journalist and since.

Since then I’ve written some musicals and musical revues, had a short story published and a few other ommercial projects under way, so it seemed a logical idea to include details for potential hirers.

On top of that, I have a very creative family, and so I’ve included space for them should they wish to share it.

The end result is a bit of a hodge podge. Do I need a website? Who knows. But I like it. I hope you do too.
